Detailed Description

BH31668 is a Raybestos brake hydraulic hose intended for the rear center brake circuit on the listed Ford applications. If you are replacing a worn or leaking rear center brake hose on a 1959-1966 Ford F-100 or 1961-1966 Ford F-250, this hose matches the documented fitment and connection style. This part cross-references Dorman - First Stop H31668 for the same application.

Use BH31668 when the original hose shows cracking, swelling, corrosion at the fittings, or fluid seepage at the brake line connection points. The SAE female-thread and male-thread end configuration supports direct replacement on the specified vehicles, and the 20.700-inch overall length aligns with the rear center routing used in these Ford truck applications.

Common Replacement Reasons

• Brake fluid leakage at the hose or fitting area
• Cracked, dry-rotted, or swollen rubber hose material
• Corrosion or damage at the threaded ends
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by hose deterioration
• Restoration or maintenance of rear center brake plumbing on classic Ford trucks

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle year, model, and rear center routing before installation. Inspect the mating brake lines and threaded connections for corrosion or damage, and verify that the hose length and fitting types match the original part before tightening. After installation, bleed the brake system according to the vehicle service procedure and check all connections for leaks.

Quality Assurance

Raybestos Element3 brake components are built for direct-fit replacement use in the listed applications. Verify fitment against the vehicle’s brake system configuration before ordering, especially on older Ford F-100 and Ford F-250 trucks where prior repairs may have altered line routing or fittings.
