Master cylinder lines - help!

[richgoat]

My brakes decided to stop working on my 96 Ranger 4cyl. It had no pressure on the pedal so I assumed master brake cylinder. Today I noticed the oil is leaking out bad, and it seems to be at the connection where the lines from the master cylinder connects to the front passenger steel line. Does anyone know what the part is called? Ultimately I'd like to replace the lines coming out of the master cylinder up to that 90degree fitting where the 2 lines connect.

Please help!

It's just called a "T" usually because you have three connectors...one in from the master and two out to either caliper for the front...there is also one on the rear axel that goes to either side for the rear brakes...

The "T" can be purchased from any parts store, but make sure you get the right size for your brake lines...and I'm not sure if it's 1/4" or 5/16" line...but if you get both you can always return the one you don't need...

You will need a flaring tool, a line cutter and the connectors that go into the master and the T...most short pieces of brake line have the connectors on both ends, but you may find that the one from the master is slightly larger than the one to the T...so maybe pick up a few extras just in case...
