Rear Brake Hoses
Learned a handy lesson this weekend. Surprised that I didn't find a thread related to this.
If you ever want or need to replace the rear brake hoses on your F-150 with disc brakes, the OEM ones are made onto the hard line. They don't screw off. This means that if you use the hose from an aftermarket source (Advance/Autozone/etc) your going to have to cut the OE line, install a union and flare the line.
I messed with mine for over an hour with a pair of vise grips before finally figuring this out.
