2006 Subaru Forester Back Brakes and Blown Lines - Part 2

In the previous video (link below) I arrive to a call about a brake failure. The owner and I had established in advance, that the rear pads and rotors needed to be replaced. Upon arrival I find the vehicle sitting above a large puddle of brake fluid, and turn the car around to get me further from traffic flow and pedestrians. After completing the rotor and pad replacement I decided to move the vehicle to a less trafficked area to tackle repairing the blown line. This vehicle IS NOT worthy of perfection, so a simple (and LEGAL) patch is in order.
 BUT, if you know anything about the Salt Belt, when one cracks like glass, the others aren't far behind. Rusted lines almost always lead to a multiple round fight. I would have lost this fight based on points alone. Come join me, to learn how to, and not to, repair brake lines! (Bloopers NOT removed)

 I do most, if not all repairs, with tools that I carry around in my overloaded 1997 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. I perform "On-Site" braking and suspension repairs, amongst other diagnostics and services. My tools consist mostly of Craftsman, a few Stanley, Snap-On, Husky, Pittsburgh, and S&K tools. Scan tools include hand held Actron(s) DVOMs, and test lights. I also currently use a Zurich ZR Pro, for advanced and bidirectional diagnostics as well as a Snap-On Verus Pro, for more detailed diagnostics.  I'm always expanding my collection, based on need and convenience.
