A broken brake wrinkle is even aggrandized typical in severe climatic zones, where it is subjected to corrosive flavour used on the highways to melt freeze. The corrosion, once started, can be a businesslike difficulty considering the consequences. When this footing is encountered, the adequate brake step should be inspected. There are two methods for correcting this corrosion--one for lines exhibiting lenghty Degeneration and another for resident problems.
Instructions
Degree the length of the brake path to be replaced. Whether the disagreement is loney to a specific field due to physical damage, degree the length of brake contour needed to convert the affected field plus 6 inches.
Replacing an Entire Brake Line
4. Spray the connections with rust penetrant.Assess the dimensions of damage and figure how yet of the brake borderline to interchange. Proof all sides of the brake line for corrosion. Test the Supple brake lines for evidence of leaking. Supple brake lines are not repairable; they must be replaced. Practise a information, provided essential, of parts needed.

Preparation
1. Hoist the vehicle and block it safely on jack stands.2.Remove the brake column Trimmings with a wrinkle wrench.
5. Bend the contemporary brake limit, using the tubing bender, to match the ancient brake contour. Put them side-by-side for comparison.
6. Install the brake borderline and tighten the Trimmings with the string wrench.
Replacing a Section of Brake Line
7. Remove the reduce of brake line to be replaced using the tubing cutter. Levy the senescent brake contour on the floor and degree it. Abbreviate the new brake line 1/2 inch shorter to compensate for the compression fittings.
8. Push the cap for the compression fitting onto the brake line and move it up the line 2 inches.
9. Slide the ferrule, which looks like a ring, onto the line. Take the barrel part of the compression fitting and push the end of the brake line into it as far as possible. Pull the cap down toward the barrel, which will also move the ferrule down at the same time. Hand-tighten the barrel's cap while keeping pressure on the line to keep it in the barrel as far as possible. Use a wrench to hold the barrel while using a line wrench to tighten securely the cap to barrel. Repeat Step 3 for another compression fitting on the other end of the line.
10. Install the caps and ferrules (as explained in Step 3) on the ends of the brakes lines on the vehicle. Install the new brake line between the two cut ends of the existing brake line. Make sure to push the new brake line barrel fitting into the existing brake line while the caps are hand-tightened. Once both ends of the brake line end caps are hand-tightened, use the wrench and line wrench to tighten the end caps securely.
Bleeding the Brakes
11. Fill the master cylinder with brake fluid.
12. Loosen the brake bleeder screw on the right rear brake and leave it open until it has a steady drip, indicating it is full of fluid. Do the same for the left front, then the left rear and finally the right front. Check the brake fluid each time a brake is bled.
13. Check the entire line for leaks. Fill the master cylinder as needed.
