It would appear as though I've sprung a leak in the hard brakelines (metal lines before it goes into the rubber tubes) right after it splits off to the right wheel from the rear junction. I've searched and haven't been able to find anything about the brake lines that doesn't have to do with replacing the stock rubber with SS.

So my question is this: Is this an easy fix that I can do myself (if so, what special tools would I need to do this- I have a soldering iron FWIW) or is this something that I should really get someone to do myself?

Thanks.

easy fix, yes.it involves a trip to the local auto store, and a couple of bux.find out how much line you need, buy a little more than you need, buy a line bender and a flare tool and get to work.or buy some premade ones. youll need a 10/12mm line wrench for the fittings.do you honestly think that solder will hold? or anything for that matter? i wouldnt want to put my life on the line just for something so damn simple.

Thanks for your help!

I wasn't terribly sure about soldering it so I thought I might aswell ask.
