I was driving today and I almost crashed when I tried to stop luckily there was enough pressure to stop before hitting the guy in front of me. I pulled over on a side road and stopped the car. I went to call my dad to pick me up and we pinched the brake line (stopped the leaking a bit) and then we drove it home, the brake light is on. All in all it was scary and I want to know what I should do now? Can anyone give me instructions on how to replace brake lines (rear) or should I just pay someone to do it? Right now i'm without a car, it sucks.

 

If you want to know what I said about my car before this happend , read this:

its not hard at all to replace brake lines man and bleed the lines yourself you will be in good shape to drive :)

I'm thinking about replacing it myself but it looks like a big job.But I have a few questions,

 

1)Do I have to bleed the brakes at all of the wheels?

2)Do w-bodies have a regulator or is it built in with the master cylinder?

3)If the regulator is built in with the MC , which lines are the ones that go to the rear, because I can't seem to see which ones go that way?

 

I'm just gonna buy normal brake lines and i'm gonna sell the car a little later possibly during the fall or late summer. I'm gonna also get a quote from Crappy tire to see how much this is gonna cost to fix, just to see if its worth it.
