I just did this, after watching your video, in a parking lot, on the side of the road on a Sunday! I did not have the required tools for a full repair, so this advice was just what I needed! I can't thank you enough for the excellent tip! We were able to make it 70 highway miles, to our destination, where I made necessary repairs the next day! THANKS AGAIN!!!
Excellent advice, I did just that, it'll hold just long enough to get to the shop. Like any good surgeon, you clamp off your bleeders... Save the patient from bleeding out on the operating table.
Even though I know this advice and have done it in the past, this morning I opted to just risk the 20 miles home during rush hour on the other half of the system. It sucked and was a scary choice.
Just did my bushings brake line flakes now pissing dont want to a patch job want to have ONE PICE I AM not good at making the bubble not going to try on my daily so i am goin to be holding stron 4 a few mmm i just join dont let me down need som more off that country boy know how .. chop chop all love fam stay up

Ive got a rear drum thats pissing fluid. I had a lot of running around to do today so i just kept topping off the fluid and giving myself PLENTY of room in front. Being New Years Day tomorrow, not sure if auto stores will be open for parts. May have to do this.
@@jacobtaylor5001 I did have to do it, and it depends on the location of the leak. Most rear brakes have a single line most of the way back, then it splits into two lines. If it's leaking after the split then only the one wheel will be effected, if it's the main line than both rear would be out.
Thank you, I was wondering if you could do that! I’m going to try it out instead of getting it towed the 5 miles to the shop. I think it actually cost less for the repairs when you drive the car in then have it towed in. What do you guys think? Thanks again great video
It will definitely cost less. It's just a band-aid fix to get ya home or to the shop.... I take no responsibility!!! LOL Just take it easy and always have an exit lane while driving with a fix like this!
Thank you, and I did make it to the shop. I had extra brake fluid with me. I drove slowly and if I ran into a problem I would pull over with my emergency brake and call for a tow to the shop. The truck pedal did feel firm all the way to the shop where it did make a complete stop. There was still fluid in the revisor . I will have my truck back tomorrow morning. Thank you. I knew it would work
@@Virt7_ sorry I didn't see this earlier. I don't feel comfortable giving advice on your situation without more information and being able to see what you're working on.
@@jwissinboot4898 keeping in mind that this fix is temporary and not meant to be long term, I'd say it's safer than no breaks. As for longevity, if it's pinched/crimped good, it could go indefinitely. It will not cause any more pressure on the other break parts, that's not how pressure works, the master cylinder can only push out so much pressure, and in a closed system such as the break system, each component will feel the same maximum pressure.

Glad it helped.
Jesus you just saved me a huge tow charge. Brilliant idea. Thank you!!!
Glad it helped..

I’ve done this multiple times in a pinch saved me more than I can count.
Great advice! The same logic also applies to a leaking water pipe. It'll hold til the plumber can do the actual repair.
Dude you are amazing … Thankyou for this amazing tip . Just saved my ass ….🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My pleasure!
Buying a car tomorrow with a bad brake line definitely saved me from having to tow it
Thank you. Good stuff.

Scary indeed...
Gonna try this out tomorrow or monday! :3

Smash it with a rock. Love it!
Have you never watched MacGyver? Use what you have to do what you need.

That happens to me today as well
Did you have to do this and does it jus cut off the rear brakes if you do it to a hardline to the rear?
@@jacobtaylor5001 I did not end up doing this.

@twosawacres8096 wouldn't it be better to have both out? At least then you're staying balanced when you brake.

@@PaulFerrucci-kp9qc fantastic, glad to hear it...
@@twosawacres8096hey, I snapped my hardline while getting my brake hose off. I’m bringing it to the shop a few miles from me. Will I be okay to drive?
@@Virt7_ sorry I didn't see this earlier. I don't feel comfortable giving advice on your situation without more information and being able to see what you're working on.
Hey is it possible if you do this to one the other will need it?
This method shouldn't cause anything to happen to the other 3 brakes unless they are already compromised and about leak anyway.
@twosawacres8096 how long is it safe to drive with the brake line pinched and also will this blow the other brake lines apart from the pressure
