Found a hole in mt brake line

[robert teed]

Hi,
I found a hole in my brakeline today. I'm going to have to
replace all the lines before I try to move it. Anyone done
this? What do I have to look forward to? The line is rusted
out near the engine compartment.
See Ya,
Rob

Robert,
I believe you answered your own question, rust is what you have to look
foreward to! I would suggest replacing all of the brake lines if you
want a reliable brake system. It's not really as hard as it sounds,
especially if you're going to take it all out. I would also suggest
replacing the front & rear hoses if they have any age on them as well.

You need to rely that there are no weak liks in your brakes. If I can
be of help, let me know.
