Brake Line Help
I was wheeling this weekend and my front driver brake line came unconnected. Brake went to the floor and all the fluid drained out. I was able to find where it came apart and duct taped it back together but that did not solve the problem. Luckily I was able to get off the trail and make it home with minimal brakes, but now I need my brakes back! It came apart wear the line connects to the brake pad? I believe. From looking at the other side it seems attached very tight. Any help on how to get it attached again and get fluid in there would be great. I'm hesitating on taking it to a shop as I feel as this is not a hard fix. See pics attached. Thanks for your time.

Replace the brake line, simple as that. Bleed the brakes to get the air out and fluid in.

I've got a set of beefed up brake lines I got from NorthRidge that are good for up to 2.5" inches of lift assuming you also have the brake line extension brackets that usually come with aftermarket lifts.
I can't use them anymore since I'm running 12" coilovers. I can FedEx em' 2-day air if you're interested. Just mail me a check for the agreed amount in return and promise not to screw me in the process lol

Here's a few pics....
It turns out they are good for 2"-6" lifts.
I actually just cut a slit in the package to pull one of the front lines and it is the exact same size as the ones that came with my coilovers. Now I'm wondering if I should just keep them as backups lol....
* These actually seem better built then the lines from EVO that were just put on. These are also Made in the USA...
