Repairing a Brake Line

By Matthew Wright, About.com Guide

Your brakes are very important. Brakes are no place to get skimpy. If you need to replace a broken, brittle or leaking brake line, do it sooner rather than later.

What you'll need:

• Brake fluid
• New brake lines
• Open end wrenches
• Clean rags

Before you begin, be sure your car is safely supported on jack stands. Remove the wheel and you're ready to get busy.
