Early in the summer my brakes began to get mushy. After a bad experience with a local shop I had new brakes all around and still mushy brakes.

I finally diagnosed the problem as a bad master cylinder. Bought a new one and went to replace it, but rounded off the line fitting. After trying to reflare the line and breaking a brand new flaring tool, I wound up cutting the hard line and purchasing an entire new one and installing it.

I finally got started with the fluid flush/bleed process, but found one of my bleeder screws was tweaked. I decided to replace it (both rears) with speed bleeders, but one of them broke off during install. I could not get the broken bleeder screw out, so I am going to have to replace the wheel cylinder.

I ran into a snag, however. When removing the brake line from the wheel cylinder the line broke due to rust.

My question: Can I purchase a pre-bent line from a dealership? If not, should I just use some Autozone stuff (pre-flared because I am not going through the flare tool stuff again). My wife is pushing me to get it towed and fixed at a shop, but I don't trust anyone after a few bad experiences.

Any input is appreciated.

 

yeah i think you can get pre-bent ones from the dealer, check majestic honda,

I think they should have what you're looking for, goodluck.

 

jesus dude... you have the worst of luck.

what I would do:
- buy new front calipers
- buy new rear wheel cylinders
- buy a crap load of tubing
- buy a new, better flaring tool and tube bender
- buy a few junctions so that when you have a break in the line, you're not having to remake a 20' long brake line

go crazy. there's nothing worse than driving around with crappy brakes.
