RIDEX 83B0239 Rear Right Brake Hose – MX-5 NA/NB Standard Brakes
Replacement RIDEX flexible brake hose for the rear-right / UK offside of Mazda MX-5 Mk1/NA, Mk2/NB and applicable Mk2.5/NB-FL models fitted with the standard braking system.
The flexible brake hose carries pressurised brake fluid between the vehicle’s rigid hydraulic brake pipe and the moving rear brake caliper. Its flexible construction allows suspension and wheel movement while maintaining hydraulic pressure during braking.
Important fitment restriction: Mk2.5/NB-FL vehicles fitted with the factory big-brake system require a different hose. This hose should therefore be allocated only to vehicles retaining the applicable standard rear brake arrangement.
Side identification: This is the rear-right hose, which is the offside on UK right-hand-drive vehicles. The matching rear-left / UK nearside hose is RIDEX 83B0232.
Brake hoses should be inspected regularly because deterioration can occur internally as well as externally. Common replacement reasons include cracking, perishing, bulging under brake pressure, corrosion around the end fittings, fluid leakage, damaged mounting points or internal restriction causing a brake to bind or release slowly.

Fitment advice: This hose corresponds with Mazda references NA01-43-980, NA01-43-980A, NA75-43-980 and NA75-43-980A. MazSpec confirms it for applicable MX-5 NA and NB models with the standard brake system. On NB-FL cars, confirm that the vehicle does not have the factory big-brake arrangement before ordering.
Other items to consider: Inspect the remaining flexible brake hoses, rigid brake pipes, banjo bolt and sealing washers, rear caliper, bleed nipple and brake-fluid condition. Hoses of a similar age may show comparable deterioration, so inspection of the opposite side is strongly recommended.
Useful tools / consumables: Vehicle lift or trolley jack and axle stands, flare-nut spanner, socket and spanner set, brake-hose clamp or suitable fluid-control equipment, drain container, fresh brake fluid of the correct specification, brake cleaner and suitable bleeding equipment.
Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Moderate. Opening the hydraulic braking system requires correct installation, bleeding and leak checking before the vehicle is returned to service.
Why RIDEX? RIDEX brake hoses provide a cost-effective replacement manufactured to application-specific connection and mounting dimensions. Correctly functioning flexible hoses are essential for transmitting hydraulic brake pressure safely while allowing normal suspension movement.
What’s in the box: One RIDEX rear-right flexible brake hose. Matching left-hand hose, brake fluid, banjo bolt, sealing washers and installation tools are not included unless physically supplied with the component.
Installation notes: Support the vehicle securely before removing the wheel. Clean the hose and rigid-pipe unions before dismantling them to minimise contamination. Release the rigid brake-pipe connection using a suitable flare-nut spanner, then disconnect the hose from the rear caliper and mounting bracket. Compare the routing, length and fittings of the replacement hose before installation. Fit the hose without twisting or allowing it to rub against suspension, wheel or body components. Use new sealing washers where required at the banjo connection and tighten all fittings to the applicable specifications. Refill and bleed the hydraulic circuit thoroughly, check the brake pedal is firm and inspect every disturbed connection for leakage before driving the vehicle.
