Default Cant find rear Break hoses anywhere :-(

Hello everyone.

I own a Jeep cherokee sport 1996 4WD i6 engine type.
Jeep is SOLID and I love it.

Recently, I decided to replace rear break drums and the entire rear break assembly after completing a very complicated procedure, I noticed that my "rear right break hose" has a leak.

I then decided to replace it and its been a week i am unable to find it at autozone,autoparts,Jeep dealer etc etc .They all say they have stopped making them anymore.

Can any one suggest where can i find rear right break hose plsssssss :-(
or are there any alternatives i can use instead of the stock part.

My jeep has NO lift or any kind of modifications..
I love my jeep and am unable to drive it ..

thanks
xytiz

just be sure to take the old line and fittings on the line with you so they can match them up

go back to parts store and get premade brake lines the size and length you need. and take your stock one off and bend the new one to match the stock and hook back up. and bleed your brakes and your done. i have done this a few times

I had to do this recently for the main rear line. No problems at all.

Any update? what size and length of tubing did you get? I am kinda in the same spot.... I was pulling the rear Diff cover off and had to wiggle the brake line out of the way... a minute later i noticed a fresh "wet" spot on the axle in two places.... realized oh s**t... stepped on the pedal and sure enough brake fluid sprayed out of the to spots the line is rusted to hell any way so i guess in the long run its a good thing.... but yeah no premade lines out there... Would love to know fittings you got... I have a small pipe bender and flaring tool at my father's but knowing what i need to get would be a big help..

If you are talking about the hard lines and not the rubber hose and the parts stores (Autozone, Advance Auto, O'Reilly's, Napa) say they don't have them, run the line down to a brake shop and get them to make you one.
