    1995 Ford Explorer, 4.0

    Im working on the hard lines, replacing the whole line from the ABS hydraulic unit to the left front soft line at the caliper.

    I havnt taken it apart at the abs unit yet, but looking at it from the outside, it looks like it's not going to be a normal brake line fitting/tube nut... it looks like it's going to be like this..


    With a male end coming out of the Abs unit for this to thread onto... does anyone know if I need to cut the end off this to save the fitting, then buy new line and put this on, then reflare the new line? Or can I buy this fitting, I dont recall seeing that anywhere before... my main concern is that it's gunna be bubble flare inside that fitting so that I cant replace the flare on the new line, since the end at the caliper was bubbled.

    You should be able to buy the fitting ...somewhere. I have had better luck at Autozone than Advance for various fittings. You just need to get them to let you out back where they have the whole rack of them.
