Confirmation: Parking Brake line

Congrats to me ... I changed the Rear diff fluid with no issues today. Not a big deal for most, but for me, its exciting.

However, while I was under there, I noticed a broken hose. Could someone confirm if this is the parking brake line? (its the red one). If its not, what line is it? I checked the service manual, and couldnt really tell.

Over the last while, I have noticed that my parking brake is lousy (pretty much useless). I adjusted the tension nut at the handbrake, but it didnt do much. Assuming this broken hose is parking brake, perhaps its an easy fix (replace hose).

Thanks again!

Thats your rear diff breather. i wouldn't go through any tire deep water until you replace that hose.

Thank you sir!

Do you per chance know the Inner Dimension for the hose?

I guess it was wishful thinking to hope that this would have cured my parking brake issues. No matter ;)

Thanks again.

6mm or so, I think. Just remove it and measure or take it in the store with you.
