It finally happened to me. That dreaded day I think and believe everyone hates, came to my home last Saturday night/Sunday morning. I, in an attempt to miss Bambi's mom, I lost nearly all braking force/action. Joyful.
Anyways, after missing Bambi's mom, I ended up with a Christmas tree dashboard:
After limping it home, I got the low down when the sun came back out:
Now the joy starts....I had to start somewhere. So, I dug out stuff that I already had, kind of:
Well I didn't have the double flare tool, which that version is berkeleying awesome, so the parts store nabbed me for $57 for the tool and another $6 in fittings.....
After taking the rack down to have some working room for the line going to the passenger side, I ended up here at the end of day 1:
Fast forward to day 3(!).... I skipped day 2 because it was actually uneventful until this line decided to be a bitch...
That is the passenger side line that didn't want to go back in place. But HA! I got the last laugh!
Used up some brake fluid I had laying around:
Yes, the illegal blue colored stuff.
Ignore the washed out flash, but how the other two lines look:
And it's back to driving condition.... I'm going to drink some beer now. And if anyone needs a brake line made, don't call me unless you want a bullet hole in your body.
