Brake Line Popped! Can I Pinch The Brake Line To Get My Car Home?
So my drivers side rear brake line must have popped or something, I hit the brake pedal while driving and I lost all pedal feeling, pulled over and pumped the brakes and there was a good puddle of fluid under that brake.
Is there a way to just pinch that brake line or isolate it from not gettin fluid somehow?
I just need ti make it home about 2 miles
The car has a teggy rear disc conversion if it matters.
Thanks guys

As long as you pinch it and absolutely no fluid can get through then you should be ok to make it the 2 miles. Brake power is 70% on the front brakes but still mainly downshift and go slower then dirt home and be very careful.
How did you pop the line?

Yea, just get under there with a pair of pliers. You need some ***** to get it to the point where is doesn't leak. My advice is to bend the end towards the front of the car, and crimp down.
Edit: 2 miles!!! Down shift and yank the e-brake. If worst, put your car in gear and shut off the engine.
