my carquest location cant order some parts well cuz i cant get the right numbers when i googled..
i ordered
H38576 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie 8 Cyl 5.2L - Brake Line, Rear, Center
it says its not for a 2000 dodge ram 1500 from that carparts.com you sent me too.. but was for a 3500

i tried to google the Vent Tube thing and the Plastic breather but they couldnt order they get no listing but when i googled igave a dorman number it was for a ford but they can get it they cant get a listing though
frustrating is it because this truck too old no one has listings or parts or no one took parts serious back then or just a dealer thing?

 

Yer right, I missed those.

I think the plates are usable. But, you DO need to clear that vent line, good chance that is indeed why the seal is leaking.

 

ya there was several as i dont know if i cant leave that hand brake part off the brake.. you never said if i can or not.. or why the springs loose ill put it together and take new pics
or the older pics about the bracket

well odds are that vent bolt cant be reused.. would you be able to find what the dorman is for it and the vent breather i checked the dorman site i googled and amazon i cant find it find other vehicles

frustrating i tell ya

 

so i got the part off but i got problems i couldnt get a socket on.. and i tried vice grips. and then i sawed the tip off the vent and used a socket remover and it didnt work.. i tried twising the brake block to unscrew it.. well its off but it sheered off.. now i dont know what to do or how you get it out? i guess these must be all orginal parts or we use salt so bad in canada its ruined it... so i not sure how to get that part out frig i wish i tackled this in the summer with heat ... you figure one little brake job turns into nothing but one problem after another

 

i sprayed it with wd40 last night ill give another shot today with it.. i thought maybe using heat? and see if i can turn it out wit jabing needle nose pliers in the hole.. i dont know how deep it goes in etc and hope it doesnt catch fire since its oil in there.. havent found a dorman number for the vent pipe or vent breather yet so cant order it from car quest

 

WD-40 won't help you, you need something like PB Blaster, or Kroil freeze off, etc. Heat likely would help as well. At this point, you might be able to drill it out, but, that's gonna leave crap in the axle tube. Easy out?

 

oh why doesnt wd40 help? i buy it because it says its penetrating oil... kroil i seen that cant buy in canada on amazon and that **** sooo expensive i couldnt believe it.. i can try to get pb blaster i seen it before but now with lock down restricitions i cant go into stores so i double wammy .. i do have easy outs but they master craft for screws.. do you have a pic of what kinda easy out id need? i guess its just the salt and age right and probably never changed..

 

WD40 is just a water displacing (hence the "WD") lubricant, it does nothing for rust. Worst case, a 50/50 mix of acetone, and trans fluid, works great.

 

so what good is wd40 then doesnt the acetone just evaportate out of the trans fluid

 

Yep, the acetone will evaporate, but, not before it does a number on some of the rust. It also helps the trans fluid penetrate deeper into the rusty threads.
