Lord have mercy this darn truck has drove me nuts!! Well first I replaced the front brake lines which were leaking due to rust rubbing them raw, just to discover that after bleeding them there was still no pressure, come to find out it is the rear brake line as well luckily thsi truck has a 4 inch lift so easy to climb under, but for the looks of it the leak is on the top portion of the brake line. just leaking everywhere. Since no men in my family know shit about vehicles I'm at a loss. seems like a small hole, tried JB weld for temp job but no use, is there a cheap alternative to fixing this an hillbilly way without crimping off my brake line? I can't afford or have the know how to replace the whole thing. My idea was to just use pipe cutter and cut the leak portion off and apply high pressure rubber hose overlapping botu a Inch on either side and clamping down still allowing my brakes to function? Is this possible?
