Tryed to take it off the block on top of the rear end and pulled to hard and broke that block off the rear end.
What holds that block on the axle housing?
Its so rusty I cant really tell.
Is it a threaded hole into the axle housing?
How hard is going to be to find a new block?
As original:
The brass block where the two steel lines attach and has the hole for the rear axle vent tube is
part of the rear brake flexible hose.
The block was
not available by itself, as there is no way to attach the flexible hose to it.
