Hi Guys,
Just changed the D/S rear wheel bearing on the RRC and in the process of doing it i noticed the solid brake hose near the calier had a kink in it so as i gently tried to straighten it out... it ripped.
How do i go about fixing it?
Ive had 2 thoughts, Nip to halfrauds or similar and buy some hose, a flare tool, some brake fluid, and possibly a bender.
Get the old hose off, make a new one with similar bends, cut the ends of the old hose, slide on to new hose then flare. Is this correct?
OR, as the kink/tear is only an inch or 2 off the end, can i just shorten the hose ?
Need a quick response as my girlfriends home 7ish and will KILL me if the cars not driving !
