Rear brake line woes
My car is spewing out brake fluid in the center rear. I have not put it in the air yet but I believe it is the rear one that crosses over. Anyone know a source for this besides buying all lines from https://www.inlinetube.com/products/pbb2001

Re: Rear brake line woes
Get a roll of 3/16" line for $25 and rent the flaring tool from a parts store for $0. Don't bother buying fittings, you can reuse yours. Remove the old line, bent up a new one (no tools, only your hands) to match the old one. Watch a couple Youtube videos on how to use the flare tool and then do it and reinstall. Bleed the system and drive.
