So all of 4 days before I'm supposed to be moving, my rear brakeline on my 1995 4.0 Extended Cab 2WD has failed at this (very rusty) junction on the metal line side.
Since I'm nearly broke from moving expenses I need to get this truck up and running as cheaply as possible so I've decided to disconnect the line to the rear brakes from the main cylinder and cap it off. I can restore the rear brakes later.
I just need to know which of these 3 ports goes to the rear, and what size it is. I also need to know if its a double flare fitting or a bubble flair. I checked my Hanes manual but I can't find anything useful.
Another post said that they believe it's a 3/4th inch double flared fitting but they hadn't verified. Can anyone confirm this? or tell me which of those 3 goes to the rear end? I apologize if these are stupid questions but I'm fairly mechnically uninclined. I just know that if I plug the leak in a hydraulic system, it should work. I'm planning to plug it with a brake line terminator like this: https://www.belmetric.com/inch-c-17_564_566/ble105b-brake-end-316-tube-3824-thread-p-3073.html?zenid=iej3r87lomofb1gpiahg69erh6
Thanks in advance. I'm in a pretty serious bind right now so any help on identifying what parts I need to cap that off is appreciated.
