I just noticed that my car is leaking brake fluid. I checked behind the rear wheel and it pours right out. It's not the rubber hose it's actually the metal hose. Is this an easy fix that I can do myself. The reason why I'm asking is because I really don't have the money to send it out to be fixed. Please email me as soon as you can.

Thanks You,

Ok how long is the line that you need to replace> Take it off and take it to the parts store so they know what size line and threads then get a line nut and see if they rent a flare tool and get a union and repair the line. Now if the line is not more then 60 inches long that is broken then you should take out the whole line and get one that it long enough to replace it with. It will come straight so you will need a tubing bender so you can form it to fit. Thanks and Merry Christmas.
