    Thanks for your answer. I did already know about unscrewing the hose from the caliper, I just am not certain as to where the OTHER END of the hose disconnects from. I can't tell if the rubber hose seperates from the metal tubing, or if the metal tubing is actually part of the hose I will need to replace. There is a rubber boot around the hose, where it connects to the metal tubing, and I have been unable to move this boot to see how the rubber hose is connected to the metal tubing. I guess I can go ahead and buy the new brake line and THEN I should be able to tell where the other end is connected. Thanks again for your help!

You will need some line wrenches just follow the hose from the caliper and you will see it attaches to a metal line. first loosen the fitting and then remove the clip that holds it in. then remove it from the caliper , be a good idea to clean with brake clean first to prevent dirt contamination. after your done simply open the bleeder on the caliper and let all the air out. check the master reservoir and you should be good

Recently bought a 89 ford ranger pickup 2wd. My emergency brake doesnt work
Given the vehicles age, I would say you will have to replace
the back parking cables, from the drums out, if they are even avail

Back brakes will have to come apart & be serviced also, to have parking brakes work

I need a diagram for where the vacuum hoses go to on a 1988 Ford ranger 2wd 2.0 carb. the diagram on the truck is no help. And the hoses are no longer there
Check out the autozone.com website and register the truck there. It doesn't cost anything and will give you access to an online repair manual for the truck. The vacuum diagrams should be available there. Hope this helped and best wishes.
