Rear Brake Hoses for '89 L Sedan - AcuraLegend.Org - The Acura Legend Forum for All Generations of the Honda / Acura Legend; 1986 to Present

Smootman · 08-11-2021, 11:35 AM

Replacing brake hoses and see the '89 Legend has different hoses for the rear (Meiji or Nihirin). Is one for 2-door and the other is 4-door? I have 4-door and believe it takes the Meiji. Can someone give me the lowdown on this?

I've never seen a sedan rear brake hose setup. But looking at Rock Auto's parts catalog between 1989 and 1990, 1989 appears to be a cross over year for different calipers. I think the only difference is the hose that's attached to the caliper.

Crawl underneath or remove a rear wheel and look at the caliper and the hose that's attached to it.

Meiji:

Nichirin:

I'm guessing the brake hose and routing looks like one of these:

Meiji:
Caliper - rubber hose (with bracket) - hard line - rubber hose

Nichirin:
Caliper - rubber hose (without bracket) - hard line - rubber hose
