Take a sample to NAPA and they will supply you with the proper hose

the air chamber with and without a spring parking brake are
relativly inexpensive, under $100 each. a rubber diaphragm in the chamber is the wear part. folks neglect to test the park brake diaphragm and 'parkbrake hold off lines' for leaks. To Test: Build pressure, chock tires, release park brake, rebuild pressure (20 seconds) then shut the bus down and listen for leaks. if the leak down time is quicker than leakdown with park brake on, you have an issue. here is a good trouble shooting guide for air brakes http://bepco.biz/AirBrakeCat/10-14.pdf When you replace hoses, many of the ends are reusable. rubber hoses fail inside and out. whenever application possible, plastic is an upgrade. Plastic air line is tough stuff. Remember to block up the frame before poking around under a bus that is held up by air bags.

It may be a little while. I am caring for my granddaughter today. I will look at mine and see if I can help. I have never looked at mine because I haven't had any problems. Tell me specifically where to look.
Most hoses can be manufactured by NAPA. Block the bus up before taking air hoses off or it could be a mute point. Leroy Eckert 1990 WB-40 Smoke N Mirrors Dahlonega, GA gasparillaglass

I wish I could post a picture of it
the hose to me seems to not be a hose that has allot of pressure as the hoses are only pushed on to a 3/8" metal tube no clams no nothing they are on the back of the air chamber and run up over the top of it and in at another hose not sure where that goes the hose in the back of the air chamber seems to be in there pretty good I appreciate all the info |

I think I know what you are referring to. I don't know what it does but will see if I can find it in my bluebox. Mine has a 90 degree rubber fitting with a metal hose inside running toward the front of the bus on the left side. The right side does not have the metal pipe just the rubber, so I may be missing a part, but have not had any problems. I does not appear to be high pressure and may be some sort of vent or exhaust, don't know. I will see if I can figure it out. The rubber grommet looks manufacturer specific.

Jamie, I looked through my Rockwell International books and cannot find a photo of the air chamber, so I cannot determine what that hose does. Probably and exhaust of some sort and the hose is to prevent water from getting into the chamber(pure speculation). Since my rubber grommet is also rotted I will continue to search because I would like to correct mine also. The books say my brakes are Rockwell International Corporation Cam-Master.
