blew brake line in vert need help preping for fix

[wastedincome]

Well Im glad this happened in my own parking lot but I dont have my tools here (Always need a jack on lowered cars ;( ) So I know I popped a brake line that goes to the rear, It goes down the firewall and then seems to go into the frame which is where its leaking....WTF what kinda repair is this gonna be?? What kind of connections is there in there?? I cant get a good look w/ out jacking it up.....

Are you talking about in front near the master cylinder on the driver's side?

If so that is most likely the proportioning valve and its no fun getting out. Good news is it's about 16.00.

hey there Parker, long time no chat (my fault, I know) > Yes up front it comes down the fire wall then 90's into what seems to be the uni-body?? I can see then fluid leaking but cant see the brake line it' self. I would think this area is after the front/rear proportioning valve>>>> :(

Hola. The valve I am talking about is directly above the unibody main frame rail. On mine it slow dripped for so long the paint was gone. (one benefit of the accident that whole area was repainted)

It's to the left of the MC coming off the back of the ABS pump then goes to the rear brakes.
