    Replacing brake lines......

    Hey I was wondering if any one had to change their metal brake lines that run along the driver side and how much of a job am I getting into..I mean every time I hit the pedal(brakes) :cuss: it sprays fluid out on the driver side under the rear passenger door.

    DONT drive your car, go to an auto parts store buy as much line you need get a tubing bender and a flaring tool. just follow the old lines and use the same attachment points

          I also picked up on the avatar/MY thing....
          If you're not into bending/flaring up your own brake lines, you might still be able to buy some pre-fab ones, either from a parts store or stealer(if you have to), but for the love of tits, PLEASE replace them. Fluid suirting out like that is a serious hazard, at LEAST change out the one that is leaking!
          Good Luck
