Rubber brake hose on rear axle-washer?

[Some Car Guy]

I haven’t changed a rear hose in maybe 15 or more years. Can’t recall about a washer, but I’m surprised one would be used with an inverted flare. You don’t use them on other joints with inverted flares. I do need to put my new stainless line on the back that I bought from inline tube. I’ll have to open it up and see if it came with a washer.

Of all the cars that I have owned, parted out and worked on, I have never seen a washer used between the threads of the hose and the brass block.

If the threads on the end stop right where the one above does, how is any washer going to help?
Also, the 9 1/4" axle is not a Dana, that axle was a Chrysler built unit. Dana built many different axles but that is not one of them.

Tangent from the original query, which was answered...

Also, the 9 1/4" axle is not a Dana, that axle was a Chrysler built unit. Dana built many different axles but that is not one of them.

The rear axle referenced in post #17 is the Dana 53 rear axle assembly with a 9-1/4" ring gear which was used in 1967 and 1968 C-body cars with 440 and 4-speed manual transmission. The axle used a 3.31:1 ratio ring and pinion gear with Sure Grip. The axle was also in limited use in 1969 Imperial stretch limousines.

The Dana 53 is a different axle than the 9-1/4" built by Chrysler that was first introduced in some 1973 B-body station wagons, with broader use in 1974 and beyond.

The following image shows a Dana 53 in a 1968 Sport Fury:

Okay.
The most commonly mentioned 9 1/4" axle is the Chrysler built unit. I did not consider the early C body models.
