Brake Line Leak

My front drivers side break line has sprung a leak and guess how I found out. It appears to be coming from the flexiable line into the caliper. How hard of a job is this to replace?

easy. you need to unbolt the line from the brake caliper and unbolt the line from the hard line from the master. use flarwrenches to unbolt the line from the hard line. this whole procedur sould take you less than a half an hour. after bleed your brakes and your good to go

If its leaking from the crimp where the rubber is crimped to the metal collar, than you just need to replace the flex line. If its leaking where it meets the caliper, then you just need new copper washers. If you get a new flex line, it should come with copper washers as well. DO NOT reuse copper washers.
