1992 ford ranger brake repair

Asked by Amy Aug 03, 2020 at 08:05 PM

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I stripped the connector box threads trying to
connect the last new Rear brake line. How do
I fix this? There is no way I can replace the
box. Can I get someone to bore out new
threads? Is that even possible for this box?

You might be able to drill and tap it out to the next size up. Why can't you replace it?

All line on it are so rusted, looks like lumps of poop at the ends. I’m on an island and people say, no it has to be done in a machine shop. So I will spray every day with pb plaster and try unhook everything without destroying it and replace it. Thanks
