Re: brake trouble
replace all the brake lines would be a smart move

Re: brake trouble
you could do the quick repair ..........but that time there might not be a parking lot. The weakest link of the chain breaks first.
Replace all the lines and secure them to the frame every 18 inches or so, so that the lines don't vibrate and stress crack. |
