Clogged brake line

Recommended Posts

I believe I have a clogged brake line.

 

I bleed my rear brake drum and went to do driverside but I cant get any fluid to come out of wheel cylinder or line. I checked the valve that sits on the diff and feeds both wheels and fluid does come out of side serving left rear drum so it has to be line.

 

What can I use to clean line?

 

bleach or vinegar or?

I personally would simply replace the bad section of line..... Why mess with it. Short enough and easy to get to.

 

Wouldnt want to contaminate the fluid or damage to the wheel cylinder....

 

I was just looking for a solution that didnt involve me waiting for a part.

Just like Mad in NC said, no need to wait for anything. Just did this repair . Bought the proper length line with fittings from napa store for $7 and the bending tool for $5 and created my own new line. Thirty minutes and it was done.
