BlackTII Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 The guy that had the truck before me had problems with the rear brakes so instead of fixing them correctly he cut the hard lines going to each wheel and crimped the lines so they wouldn't leak. I have to replace the fitting that bolts to the wheel cylinder that has the bleeder and the brake line coming in. This is not available at the dealer. I NEED ONE! Also i need the spring retainer that holds the adjuster in. can someone help me out?? thanks. Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Do you live near a wrecking yard with old imports? I think you can still get new wheel cylinders and you will have to get new universal brake line or some from a JY. Someone here should have some brake lines. If not let us know I know where some 521s are at in a yard. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 On a truck that old get new ones. See if 620 or maybe even 720 wheel cylinders will work, look the same, I think they will. Crimping the lines is ballsy, the 520/521 only had single m/c. If they leaked or blew out you are effed. Quote Link to comment
Velvetpants57 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 i know where there are two. with complete lines. Yank-a-part autowrecking in poulsbo Quote Link to comment
BlackTII Posted June 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I have new wheel cylinders but i need the thing that bolts to the back of the wheel cylinder and the lines to each wheel from the splitter. also, the thread pitch is different between the universal brake lines from the auto parts stores and the part that bolts to the cylinder. the junkyards around here don't keep old stuff like this long. they like to crush things Quote Link to comment
Eastcoast521 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Do mess around with rusty or questionable pieces from the JY. Measure how long a piece you need from the junction block to the wheel cylinder. Go to your auto parts place and find one with 3/8"-24 fittings (these are not metric!!!!) in the length you need. Bend them to fit your vehicle. Simple. Quote Link to comment
BlackTII Posted June 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 ok brake line problem solved. last two problems: need piece that bolts to wheel cylinder and a "spring clip" that holds the adjuster in. If i can get these i'll be rolling again. thanks for all the help so far. Quote Link to comment

79datsun620 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 yeah, that would be some pretty slow moving inventory. well good luck:D Quote Link to comment
