ok, according to my dad, i have a puddle of brake fluid at my driver rear wheel
i assume the line at that area is probably bad (to cause to leak, and have no more brake pressure) my question is how hard is it to fix, and what parts do i need, what exactly do i need to do, and how much (i have never replaced the brake lines on a car myself) i figure that to get it to the shop, id have to tow it (driving with no brake pressure isnt what most would call safe) i am also broke, so i want to do it myself because having it towed and a shop to do it would be too much, and i just spent money to replace my condensor and points any help would be appreciated, and if anyone is in socal, let me know if you want to help when im back in town thanks for your help, Benjamin Matlock |

well...........first you have to determine where the leak is.
could be the hard line, could be the caliper, could be the soft line, etc. jack the car up, remove the wheel on that side, and have someone push the brake pedal so you can see where the leak is. Post the location, and I am sure people more experienced than me will chime in. Jim |
