he body brake line on my gfs car rusted out....her dad jb welded it and it doesnt leak anymore, but he didnt bleed the brakes...im going to go do it for her, but im not sure what the proper way to do it is.... farthest wheel to nearest or nearest to farther? i know theres a certain order youre supposed to bleed them in...also, if the nipples are too old and dont work *which im afraid of since its a 93* is there another way? i cant afford calipers\


93 cougar if that matters

Your gonna let your girl drive around with brake lines that have JB weld on them? You are aware that the JB weld cost more than brake lines. You realy need to cut the the bad line out and splice in a new line Just my .02
But anway start with the farthest wheel from the Master cylinder Passenger Rear,Driver Rear,Passenger Front,Driver Front

yeah man I'd really just bend up a new brake line. You're going to have to bleed them anyway.

oh i wont let her drive it like that, i just need to get it driveable so i can drive it to a shop and have it fixed...i dont have anything to bend a brake line

Most of the time you bend brake lines by hand. If you replace the whole brake line, it will have the flares and fittings already on and you should be able to just put the new brake line in. It depends where the leak is. If it's far from any connections you're screwed and you have to make flares so it will connect to the existing brake line.
