extended rear brake hose options?
 

I have no interest in stainless steel brake hoses but DO need an
extended rear hose for my '84 CJ-7. Can you make a recommendation?

Thank you.


I stopped into the local Auto Value parts store and looked up in a book
the stock rear hose (i.e. part # BH108296) which is 17 7/8" in length.
I'm not sure but this may be a Wagner part number. The part number to
catch my interest is BH78078, a 24" hose (i.e. 6.125" longer than
stock). There may be two differences between the two. The distal end
of the hose which slides over the post on the axle has a 7/16" hole
where as the stock part is 5/16". I don't see that as a problem. If it
is, I might be able to find a sleeve to take up the slack. The other
difference may be at the proximal end which attaches to the underside of
the body tub. Where the end of the hose slides into the holding bracket
on the body, the star pattern may be slightly different with five points
versus four. I may be able to find a matching bracket.

Re: extended rear brake hose options?
 

I've had success with using a Wagner rear brake hose, part #BH78078
(formerly F78078), on an '84 CJ-7. The Wagner part number is,
apparently, from a 1968 Ford F250. Two adapters were required where the
'T' end of the new hose mounts to the rear axle tube. These adapters
dropped the fitting size of the hose down from 1/4" to 3/16".

The mounting hole in the 'T' end is larger than the stock CJ hose. The
replacement Ford hose has a 7/16" hole while the stock hose has a 5/16"
hole. Still, I was able to use the stock bolt to mount it. A washer,
though not necessary, was used to cover more of the 'T' end mounting
hole.


FYI: Wagner's stock '84 CJ-7 rear brake hose part number is BH108296
(i.e. formerly F108296). It measures 17 7/8". The new part is 24". I
hope the 6 and 1/8" increase in length is sufficient. I'll find out
soon enough when I jack up the rear with the ZigZag bar pins
disconnected.

Less tax, the new Wagner part cost me $49.47.

The only difficulty with the hose swap was with the fittings on the
brake lines leading the the new hose. I ended up clamping them with a
Vise Grip in order to loosen and tighten them. The wrench was slipping
on the fittings.
