The brake line running across my rear axle sprung a leak. Can I splice in a rubber hose and then rebleed or is that asking for trouble. I'll replace it eventually.

Thanks for the help, that's kinda what I thought. Brakes are something you don't want to cut corners with.

I agree with Bill. Change the hose, there's really no way around it.

The only possible way to do it safely would be to go to a shop that works with hydraulics, and have them do it. However, I doubt that they would even consider doing it on an old, rotted brake hose, and even if they would, I doubt that you would want to do it when you see what they charge. ;)

It will work. For a while. But you never can be sure exactly when it will STOP working. Probably sooner rather than later.
