1988 Toyota 2WD - Rear brake hose tee stripped, what to replace with and where
Hey all, I was finishing up replacing a pile of stuff on this truck. Front brake hoses went out, in, bled, no problem.
Rear one came out of the compression fitting fine. However, the brake hose runs to a hydraulic tee that is bolted onto the differential. The hose threads directly into this tee, and two hard lines run off to each wheel's drum brakes.
I tried to unthread the hose from the tee - it was pretty clearly stripped and won't come out, just spins and spins. Clearly need to replace the tee....
I tried to find a tee at O'reilly that would work and they are all really shallow - it won't thread all the way in. Plus they don't have the funky bracket to bolt onto the diff.
So the question is: what tee do I need, can I even find a new OEM part for an '88 toyota truck, and if there is some aftermarket option, where to find? Rockauto turned up blank and I don't really know what I'm looking for.
Here are some pics to help explain what I mean

I've worked on plenty of motorcycles but never vehicles of the 4 wheeled variety. Almost all bikes use banjo fittings which are definitely simpler... yeah wasn't sure what I was looking at. Apparently the correct term is 'inverted flare tee' and these are 'flared' fittings.
Got it all sewn back up but probably could use some more bleeding yet.
