Glad you are back on the road.

Use a tubing cutter to take a few inches off with the cracked end on it. Take to a hyd line shop have them make a line with the correct fitting that you can get over the original metal tube and clamp down. Might need metal tube in the old line to keep it from crushing down.

Im not good at measuring threads sorry. If you tell me how to do it I can try.

I can try to measure the tube I pictured tommorrow. Its at work. I can cut a piece off and fedex it to you. You can cut your line and mate the two with high pressure line and a few hose clamps on each side.

Gotta be a crack at the end of that metal line. I dont think it allows for enough flex. I have seen some trucks with those lines replaced with soft lines.

So how did it work out?

Mine is inch and a half just looked. Sometimes Harbor Freight has that stuff. Grab some generic O rings maybe an O ring in there will at least temporarily cure it. I have taken apart several trucks. It takes all my strength and then some to get those loose with the breaker bar and a an extension...

Not too much actually. Couple quarts if the truck is sitting flat. A crows foot will make your life alot easier.

I would remove and inspect then. All the ones I have taken off have been on super tight though. I would not have been able to tighten any of the ones I have taken off. It takes alot of force to get them off. Crows foot on breaker bar with pipe on end. If you moved it then its loose.

I would first see if somehow it loosened up. If not I would try to get it off and inspect around the flare for cracks. I think this is something that a road service truck may be able to address. If the line is damaged at the end, maybe it could be cut back a bit and re-flared and a small adapter...

I have not had one leak or broken line but there was a thread before it had happened. Looks like a flare fitting. I dont remember an O ring. This line has been sitting outside for some time.

I might have some lines lying around that I took off something. Can look. Its a pain to get a wrench in there. I use a big crows foot.
