Where can I get a new hard brake line for the driver side rear drum on a 2001 taco

I was trying to change a bad wheel cylinder and the hard brake line broke can anybody help me find somewhere that sells them

 

Are you against the idea of making your own?
The new Nickel/Copper line is really easy to work with compared to the old style line.
The technical name is NiCopp line. Most auto stores carry it now.

Other wise, you’re likely stuck going to the dealer. Or ordering it off line and waiting.
How soon do you need it?

 

I have never done brake lines before and I don’t have any tools to bend or flare them. I can look into that but I was hoping for a completed one so I can throw it on and continue with the brakes

 

I don't think those are available from the dealer anymore. I redid mine last year and had to make my own.

The double flare tool is around $20 and the bulk brake line is $15.

The tool works quite well with basic hand tools.

I bent the brake line by hand. It was close to a factory look and is working fine presently.

 

Do you know the fittings I need. It’s the line going from the wheel cylinder to the axle

 

I used the original fittings. It was the lines that were toast.

 

My fitting to the wheel cylinder is not reusable

 

According to these 2 links it looks like m10x1.0

Really good information here on the process and sizes

Much appreciated. I’ll see what my dumbass can work up

 

I broke my front metal line last time I did the front pads.

I went to the store hoping to buy a premade line, but al they had were already flared lines with the hardware on them already. I measured the length of my line, and bought the proper length with proper hardware. Grabbed a line bending tool for $5 or so and matched the new line to the broken one's shape. Been working great since. All in I was $15 or so including tool.

 

Go find a crusty old looking independent shop somewhere nearby, walk in, find the oldest looking mechanic, tell him what you need. Give the man 20 bucks, you’ll have your new brake line in 5 minutes.

 

Thank you for all the advice. I wish I had a Tacoma earlier so I could be a part of this group earlier
