2004 TJ rear brake line questions

[Offline246]

Hello - looking to replace the rear brake line (bolt to proportioning valve was destroyed upon removal). Does anyone know the thread size/pitch for the proportioning valve end as well as the connector near the rear control arms?

thx

Anyone? Bueller? Service manual did not have connector size, just shows route/path/location.

Are you talking about the tube nut for the rear brake line that threads into the combo block? If so, that is 1/2-20 thread with a 3/16 hole for inverted flare.

Awesome - thank you! Is the other end of that line the same size/thread?

No, the hard line that goes into the flex hose at the rear upper control arm is supposed to be 3/8-24. That varies slightly but that is what it is designed to be.
