Lost Brakes

Please check your front rubber hose brake lines,over the top of the middle support brace. (Clip to the strut ). Mine failed friday,and the other side would have failed sooner rather than later!!!

I got rid of my rubber hoses and got the Earls braided hoses, they have a nut in the middle that eliminates the use of the clip, works very well. Pricy but excellent, $95 for front and rear 5 piece set, difference was night and day.

Hey.. if a hose breaks don't stop pumping the pedal. It helps if the E brake really works. ( first thing on list - fix Emergency Brake).
