Rear Explorer soft lines

Does anyone know if the rear brake hoses for explorer disc brakes have the same thread as the XJ hard lines? I'm putting Discs on my D44 tomorrow and that was the one thing I don't think I considered earlier.

Should be. If not, get an adapter or make new hard lines. :dunno:

I used the Tera Flex soft lines. for my CV conversion.

I did have to use the banjo bolt from the CV calipers. They were within a few thousandths of an inch in diameter but had different thread pitches

Somewhere between 94 and 97 the CVs went from SAE threads to metric.


If you have metric hardware on your calipers I am betting that they do not fit.

Yes... If you go to your local parts store they should have 3 different 3/16 brake lines, American, Japanese and European. The Jeep and Explorer soft lines use the same American 3/16 brake line.
