Need Help ***Brake Lines broken*** Help

[frank358fr]

Hi everyone,

Following is a picture. Can you tell if it is this line that is leaking and brooken. The screw holding the line is brooken too. It seems to be leaking at this very place. Do I change just this portion, or do I have to change the whole line. Is there someone having a How-To manual available to do this job. Thanks.

Edit: I just check the line and it the line for my right front wheel. I want to know wich line is it on my master cylindre. Thanks

You can cut the bad part out flare the ends and join in another piece of tubing with flare fittings. However if that section is like that, the rest may not be far behind and you may want to look into replacement if you are going to hang on to this car for a while.

If you dont know the I dont think you should be messing with brakes. They are a very important part of the car and if you dont do the repair right you could be dead.

Thanks Frank

A flare fitting is one where you slup on a fitting over the tubing. use a tool to flare out the end of the tubing. You then screw the fitting you slid on in the first step to another female fitting creating a high pressure connection.

The fittings (brass ones only) you see in this image are flare fittings

Ok, can I take the line in a junkyard?? And How can I remove the old one?? Did someone have a How-To to remove the old line??

Yes you can take it from a junkyard. You will need a selection of wrenches.
