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

I've done it with a needlenose vicegrips. Gotta leave em on there while you drive it home.
Drive slowly, keep as much distance as posssible between you and other cars, use your handbrake and engine braking to slow

Don't forget to take plenty of brake fluid to fill up/top off your resivoir. If you're very carefull you should be fine, I wouldn't take it on the highway or anything though, unless absolutely necesary.
