Hi Rob, You did an admirable repair job. The bleeding gets rid of all the old brake fluid. I have one of the one man bleeding kits that mounts an adapter the the mouth of the reservoir, then a hose to a tank that holds the brake fluid that gets pressurized. Now all you do is go to each wheel and open the bleeder until fresh fluid appears. You and the family stay safe. 73 WJ3U

My 07 Corolla got a cut in brake hose, was not able to find much online after rounding out both fittings to get it off. This video was a god send sir.

[@gregsmith1116]

Thanks 741. No telling how many buck you saved by doing it yourself! Nice!

[@westbeachum3160]

It’s a Vibe. Best car ever built!

[@ajwalou-nack2343]

Cool thanks. I'm thinking I'll just replace the whole pipe on my van as I don't know where the air is coming from. It's just on the right hand rear as all the other lines hold pressure. I've replaced the wheel cylinders and rubber hoses plus the load valve. It's been a real pan but I think I'm getting there . Trying to find where air is entering from and no fluid leak is a joke. Thanks mate for your video 👍

[@James-vp2jn]

Nice! Thank you for replacing the brake lines before selling the car!

[@SevenFortyOne]

I needed to do this so the new owner could at least drive the car home. I think he took it to a mechanic and had all the lines replaced

[@jcrnda]

Excellent job!

[@nokizzy4504]

Have you ever had issues mixing copper and nickel with your old steel lines ? Someone told me I should never do that. Thanks for the video.

[@SevenFortyOne]

I can understand why that would make sense but I have not had any problems. Having said that, I've only run patches like this for a year or two before replacing the lines or the car. Keep in mind even if you replace the entire line the mating fittings will usually be steel or maybe aluminum

[@rick859]

awesome video. I have the same issue with my 2010 Pontiac Vibe, the steel brake line rusted out at the exact same spot as the car in this video. Now I think I can fix it myself thanks to this vid. Thanks ! Just one question, is the steel brake line 3/16" or 1/4" ?

[@SevenFortyOne]

I think I showed the part number of the splices I used. If you look them up you should be able to determine diameter...I already forgot what it was

[@1232bluejays]

My 2009 Vibe in that area still looks ok. I'll spray it will fluid film once a month during winter keep it intact from salt. It's been a decent little car no big problems bought at auction with $160,000 kms on it 4 years ago for $3800

[@ianbutler1983]

I wonder wHy didn't they use that Nocopp in the car when they made it? It won't corrode, I believe. Thanks for the video, it was interesting.

[@SevenFortyOne]

I'm not sure nicop was around in the early 2000s when this car was designed

[@LupeGalvan-pu5hr]

Did you have to bleed out the brake fluid first before all this or just take a baster and take out most of it from the reservoir?

[@SevenFortyOne]

It had all leaked out for the most part already. It's a good idea to get all the old fluid out and use new fluid if you are doing a job likecthis

[@jameswaugh115]

What size wrent did you use to tighten the line & do i need a 11mm flare nut wrench?

[@Ry77x]

Great video. Thanks!

[@sundayhinojosa8114]

Looks like the strut shock is a gone, nice line repalacement.

[@Radiowild]

New owner? I thought Mrs. 741 was attached to it. Heck, I would have bought it!

[@SevenFortyOne]

I finally convinced her it was time to sell. It was finally starting to rust underneath and mice got into it while it was sitting due to the bad brake line.

[@CarlosSantos-hh2ci]

Thanks for sharing

[@ronaldwoofer5024]

no master cylinder bleed?

[@just_in_time5518]

Nice job Rob! Break lines are fun! 😂 I’ve been there! Did u start back up working on your shed yet?

[@engineereuler1762]

Hey Rob, why are your plates Montana? does she have wings?

[@SevenFortyOne]

Yessir...she gets around

[@ThatDutchGuyNL]

helpfull vid, thanks man. gonna go and do this to my own car now :)

[@ThatDutchGuyNL]

i did it, cost me about 3 hours but jobs done !

[@cyclecamp1]

Can't believe you did not use the proper flair nut wrenches for this job. I have lost all respect for you as a mechanic. LOL just kidding, nice video. (But true about the wrenches)

[@zzddzzzz]

How much can you twist the nicop line when tightening?

[@SevenFortyOne]

The line shouldn't twist when you tighten it
