How do you fix a broken brake line on Cadillac car

Question

The brakes pretty much quit working today, would have to push pedal all the way down and when i got home, a few hours later went out to look and there's a huge puddle on the driver side on opposite side of tire. HOW do you fix it? what do i need?

Answer 1

if you have to ask you should really really take a break problem to a pro, just for your saftey and everyone else on the road with you

Answer 2

It sounds like you blew a caliper or slave cylinder if it is a rear wheel, could be a hose but not as likely.

Either way it is a simple remove & replace. The tricky part is bleeding the brakes afterward, if you don't know how to do this and don't know someone who does you should have it towed to a shop for this repair.

Brakes are not a good item to "learn as you go" for obvious reasons.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

you need to first figure out where the fluid is coming from and than if it is the brake lines you need to get a new brake line bend it like the old one and replace it. good luck
