I have a leak in a rear brake line (the rubber one) and can't see an easy way to replace it. The end closest to the caliper was cake, but the upper end is another story. Any tips or don'ts would be much appreciated. Thanks all. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Yeah, I forgot about the clips. Vice-grips will yank them out nicely.
Actually, the task isn't terribly difficult... but most of us around here are incredibly anal about stuff. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Getting bubbles trapped in the proportioning valve can be a PITA, though. When I did my lines, I bled and bled the brakes. They were okay, but not great. I drove the car around a few days, and then rebled them - that helped. Air bubbles are funny things. |
