Where were the cuts? You might need to get all new lines.

Forget it, I figured it out. I had to replace the entire break line since it was rusted through in places an d the previous owner reconnected the bad places with rubber hose and hose clamps. It was an accident waiting to happen because the lines weren't flared or anything and the hoses would have eventually came off because they could not possibly withstand that much pressure. Thanks anyway.
