Hi all
I purchased the above brake lines but not sure what all cones with the kit. I have a 3 way junction block on the top of of my axle should I leave ,replace or do I get one in the kit. Also I have a hose that comes off the top of the junction block it appears to be broken. Where does it go what does it do a vent or something.
That is the end of the brake hose. You will replace that when you install new hoses. I hope you weren’t planning on reusing the old rubber flex hoses with new hard lines, were you? The broken hose coming out of the top of the hollow bolt is the axle vent.
I'm not sure what all I need to buy yet. Planning on replacing all lines hard or soft. So that little block serves as two things. A splitter for the 2 rear wheels and a axle vent. So the bolt that holds it to the axle is hollow. How long should the rubber hose be that is the vent hose. Can water and moisture get in the axle from the hole in the hose. I just pressure washed my frame

Definitely plan on replacing your 3 brake hoses while you're doing this. 2 on the front end, one on the rear. You'll also want a baggie of hose clips to hold your hoses into the frame. They may already come w your new hoses tho.

Correct. 4x4 so you also have an axle vent hose on your front axle (unrelated to the brake system).

The hose should be long enough to reach up and clip onto the driver's side frame rail. If you want it longer than that I guess you could take it even higher. Leave some play in it for your axle to move, and make sure it is a hose rated for grease. Shouldn't be that easy to get moisture down in it, but possible yeah. Masking tape over it next time you power wash if you want.
Good luck with your project!

Yup, 89300T184X4 has the right of it, it's just a vent line. There are small "check valves" that you can jam in the end of the hose up on the frame, to reduce the likelihood of water or crud ingress into the hose. Just do a google search for "Axle Vent Check Valve"
