Subject:Re: Brake line leaking (metal part)

Herr Kapitan,
Replacing only a section of rusty brake line falls into the same area of
false economy as replacing just a section of exhaust pipe. If one piece
fails, the rest of the system is probably not too far behind. It's a major
PITA, but I would highly recommend that you bite the bullet & replace all
the metal lines while you are under there. Outside of being a dirty, nasty
job with crud falling in your face all the time, there's no real talent
required, just some patience.
