Dont know if this belongs here but here it goes...to amke a long story short, my car started to smoke , poped the hood saw fluid on the drivers header flange... brake line seems to have been touching this flange for while seems like it made a hole...

you can see where it burnt a hole through the heat shield/mesh on this pic



and on this one im pointing to where it touches with the brake line



how hard will it be to replace this ..any write ups...or should i take it to a shop and what am i looking at as fasr as $$

the fluid sprays out when i step on the brake...

thanks for any help..

 

You can just replace that section of line with the same size brake tubing from the auto parts store. You'll need a length of line, the fittings, and a flaring tool that you can make double lap flares with.

Bend the tube away from the brake lines btw....

 

what he said.easy fix.

 

A few easy bends but you'll need a bending tool so you don't kink the line, a flaring tools and some brake line tubing or take it to a good brake shop. Either way should be an easy fix.

 

^^^^^^^^^ what they said, im sure youll have to bleed the brakes once your all done too.

 

will i need to bleed the the brakes??

any one knoe the size i need??(brake line) and fittings
