OUR ONLINE CHECKOUT is CLOSED and we are NOT accepting any NEW orders at this time.

We are still fulfilling and shipping previously submitted and/or delayed order requests (as product availability allows) UNTIL NOVEMBER 15th 2022.

But after November 15th, all still pending backordered unshipped items will be automatically CANCELLED **(except for any special ordered drop-shipped or made/machined-to-order items).

Our ability to respond to emails is greatly hampered by being under-staffed during this downsize transition time. But we continue to endeavor to answer email inquiries as best we can. And we will continue responding to emails through until early March 2023 because we are wholly committed to resolving any other issues that may arise from previous sales. It is still UNCERTAIN, but we may re-open a substantially downsized version of our store again in the Spring of 2023.

We sincerely appreciate your patience, understanding during this period of restructuring and/or closing. And a huge thank you to all of you whose support and loyalty we have been the beneficiary of over the 23 years that we have worked diligently to support the information and parts needs of the aircooled VW community!

Brake Hose, Rear, Swing Axle Type 1 and Type 2, AND Right IRS Type 2, 270mm, 211-611-775B
Price: $19.95

Brake Hose, Rear, Swing Axle Type 1 and Type 2, AND Right IRS Type 2, 270mm, 211-611-775B Most people are aware of hose failure when they burst or balloon, but a more common (and hard to diagnose) is when they swell INSIDE, "valving" brake fluid.

This flex hose goes from the metal brake line to the metal brake line on the axle tube. To check brake hoses, jack up the rear of the car and spin the wheel. Have someone hit the brake pedal, the wheel will stop. Now let up off the brake pedal and try to spin the tire. If the wheel spins freely, the hose is fine. If the wheel is tight, crack open the bleeder valve, and if the wheel spins NOW, you have a bad hose. Old hoses tend to collapse inward allowing fluid out because of the pressure, but not allowing it to return because of lesser pressure from the springs. The hose is valving and must be replaced.
