Snapped Brake Line!
 

I've been doing abit of work on the S's brakes as the last trackday was spoiled by brake issues.

I've now got bigger problems. The rear brake line has snapped just above the fitting. (See pic below).

Looking from under the car, it looks like it would be a right pain in the arse to change the line. So the only option seems to be joining a new section of pipe to the old, then putting a new fitting on the end?

Has anyone else had any similar problems? Advice more than welcome :)

Local garage should be able to do it no issues for

What exactly do they do Ron?

I would assume they will connect a small section of brake pipe.
How would they join the two ends, a small compression fitting?

Actually......

There should be a fair bit of slack of the pipes.

You could just cut above the the crack, slot over the collar and get a pipe flairing tool.

Job done :)

That sounds better to me. I've had a look and I think theirs enough.

Where would I get a pipe flairing tool that small from?

A proper motor factors.

Or get a professional to do it!

:thumbup:

I'll see how it goes, like you say if not I'll take it to a garage.

Always start with ebay :)

Mine failed the MOT last mont for corroded rear brake lines. New rigid lines from Honda cost me about

After all it is important it works properly ;)
