Rusted 5 speed clutch hydraulic line

Sorry, I feel I have searched thoroughly for this topic. My 2007 2.7 5 speed clutch line/hose is very rusted and I'd like to fix it in my driveway vs on the side of the road. Anyone have a toyota part number for the hard line? Or anyone have this problem before? Or learn how to bend my own brake line and hook it up?
So with these pics I'm looking for the hard line coming out of the firewall and goes down to the slave cylinder.

 

OP, I took a quick peek at the parts manual and there are a number of options depending on production date, with or without VSC, etc. and you have not provided enough info to continue. If you like PM me with your VIN, production month and year and I shall try a second attempt.

 

It’s not clear how bad the rust is in the photos. It looks like some dried up thick paint or undercoating flaking off in the 2nd photo. I would use a wire brush to clean it up a little bit, and examine how the brake line rust is. It might be just fine. I would then hit it with some Rust-Oleum, and call it a day.

 

Dood... that "thick paint" flaking off in the 2nd pic is commonly referred to as "steel". If it were a brake line, it probably would've popped by now, but being that it's the clutch and doesn't hold nearly the pressure, it looks like it hasn't yet. Clean up the flaky stuff, and what's left will be DOT 3.

Depending on price and/or availability from the dealer, I'd probably bend up my own. Measure the old one with a string, you can get lines with the right M10 fittings, pre-flared, in coated or probably even copper-nickel. My usual method is to get it to where I can route the new line under/over/behind/whatever it needs to do, get it in & tightened on whichever end is going to be more difficult, then work my way to the other end doing the final bends it needs.

 

I sort of like the bend my own brake line idea. Can't be that hard with the right tools right?

 

Copper-nickel bends stupid easy, and while it'll turn green like any other copper, it won't rust.

I have one of the little 2-handle tubing benders, but honestly I didn't even use it that much, mostly just for tight bends to keep from kinking the line. Just get one end in solid and work towards the next mounting point until you get to the other end.

But, I don't know what price & availability from Toyota are... if it's like $20 and readily available, just buying it might be the ticket. The usual downside with pre-bent lines is usually getting them in place, but this one doesn't look near as difficult as long brake lines can be.

 

A bend it yourself brake line (with fittings on each end) that you can get any almost any auto-parts store will work just fine.The thread pitch will be the same as the brake line (and clutch) that are on your (or any) Tacoma. That really rusty female union joint could be replaced with something from the auto-parts store also though it may not be exact.

 

Awesome! Thanks for the answers guys! Excited to learn a new skill and buy some new tools. I'll follow up with my success or failures with this project when I have time to get to it.

 

Found the part number from the clutch master cylinder to the rubber hose. So hopefully this helps someone in the future.
