Brake line
Went and got 285 75 16 general at's put on today. They fit really well. I had 245's
Anyways, when they pulled my truck in to the garage bay the back drivers side rear line started to spray brake fluid. It was at the connection where the the hard line and the rubber line connect. The hard line rusted through.
My question is: can I get a pre-bent line to replace it? I called the local dealer and they said Ford does not carry it anymore.
What size are the rear lines on my 97 F250 light duty?
Thanks inadvance

You need 3/16 brake line...I just replaced all of them on my 99...you can get a 25' roll of it for around $20 at any parts store...just reuse your fittings and if you don't have a double flare kit im sure you could get a local garage to do it for you for less than $10. I would suggest if you have a harbor freight close then just go by a flare kit, you will need it with these trucks...
