'06 Tundra 4.7 Front Brake lines at caliper.

About to do rotors, calipers and found steel brake lines corroded, want to replace them while I'm doing the rest of the work but have a few questions. Been soaking with PB blaster in hopes they'll come off but cant seem to find exactly what I need as a replacement, would like to go with pre-bent lines or the flexible braided stainless but come to a point where it says not for VSC, which I have. Any suggestions/guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Have you tried the dealer?

 

Yes, just today....finally. They sent me a parts breakdown but cant definitively pick out the correct lines because they dont show the caliper itself and figured it would be easy to find on Rockauto or somewhere else....and i tis not.

 

I got mine from @Roman . He's a parts guy at Toyota of Cool Springs. He a very knowledgeable and helpful guy. They're inexpensive -- about $10 each IIRC -- and pre-bent, so a perfect fit.

 

Cool springs is no longer taking online orders the last time I checked. Something to do with some form of Audit, or what have you.

Been a few months since I checked last.


I will say this: I miss @Roman's services here. Made things super easy, knowledgeable guy, and easy to work with.

Your info says you have an '06 with V8. I made some assumptions about your truck (double cab, Limited) correct that if I assumed wrong. Although I'm not sure it makes a difference for these brake lines.

It looks like you need 47315 (Tube #5) and 47318 (Tube#8).

 

Those are for rear brakes.

 

His hand model chi must be off. Venus is in retrograde or something.

 

Jupiter is in mid-grade

 

Nice.

Had to bail out this morning and got my Hand Protectors in a search tizzy.

Double Cab Parts Mojo is funky and really I don’t care for it when looking for parts. Might just limit my focus on Access Cabs in the 00-02 from now on as it keeps me out of trouble.

 

Had this same problem when doing stainless lines not long ago. Little pipe between the caliper and hose wouldn't let go. Recommendations are on point, they're cheap to go OEM. Put your VIN in the online parts book (love Toyota for this) and order them. You can have them shipped if your local dealer wont do pickup.
