I have a question ! How do i get to the brake line ? I have a leak and need to repair it but need to know where the exact leak is. It seems to be coming from the middle of the rear. What all do i need to remove to access the lines ? Brakes are very spongy
 


if the leak is in the middle of the car just look under for the wet lines, theres your leak.

you can cut the rusted line out and use compression fittings and new line, or ( recommended) take the time and buy/rent a flair tool and flair the lines and use line nuts and threaded blocks to join them together.
 
not really, they run right under the drivers side of the car. may have a clip holding them up here and there.

jacking up the drivers side and using jack stands is the best way to work under there.

this is about the middle of the car. see my rust coated lines?

you just need to look for the wet line, once you find it, have someone pump the brake pedal, you will see exactly where its leaking from then.
 
you can get to all the lines, you just need to find where its leaking from, cut the bad line out and replace it with new line, then bleed the brakes of course.
