the person i bought my camaro from patched the rear brake line with a 6" pice of rubber hose and 2 hose clamps and are now leaking. whats the best way to repair this. or do i replace entire line?

 

replace the flex line and bleed out the brakes.

 

Welcome to TGO, bobby.

Just an FYI: The pass side caliper has flex line, the drivers’ side a hardline.

When I bought my t/a it had new brake lines,unfortunately they were joined in places with compression fittings.

After my 2nd trip to the parts store trying to fix one area at a time I just bought enough to replace it all,wasn't terribley expensive and it's good piece of mind.

 

Thank you! it's the drivers side hardline. can it be patched? or do i have to replace the whole line?

 

I'd think it would be more trouble to patch than replace. The following sites should have what you need:

I just finished my front brake hoses and found out something good. The gravity brake bleeding method works great. Hooked up the proper size hose to the bleeder valve and ran it into a coffee can. Opened the bleeder valve keeping an eye on the master cylinder to keep it topped off. It takes longer but no air in the system what so ever. This is just an F.Y.I.
