Rear Hard Brake Line to Wheel Cylinder Fitting Size

[TrueTexas]

Anyone know the size of the fitting on the rear hard line to the Drum Brake Wheel Cylinder (on a '99 TJ w/ Dana 35)?

I am replacing my drum brakes including wheel cylinders. The left went on easy but the right side fitting threads are all buggered up and I cant even hand thread it to get it started. I ordered a new line but want to see if I can cut the flare and replace the bad fitting and re-flare the line.

I cannot find any details on the thread size for the fitting so any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I am going to answer my own question for those hat need to know in the future.

The rear passenger brake hard line for a Dana 35 on a 99 TJ are 3/8-24 thread on both sides of the line (wheel cylinder and tee)

I bought a new brake line and new nut and bolt from HD to test fit. Nut and bolt fit the line and wheel cylinder perfectly so I tested the line to wheel cylinder. That also fit perfectly. Problem solved.

What length of brake line did you use for this? I cut mine while grinding my spring perches in the back so I’m going to buy a precut/ flared length.

I ended up replacing the lines with prebuilt ones. I used a Mopar part on Jeep #1 which was about $50 for just the passenger side. On TJ #2, I bought a set of lines from Amazon for $30. They fit perfectly.
