Driving a Supra with leaky brake line advice?

mirage83 · 04-20-2009, 05:53 PM

My suggestion would be to go ahead and replace all your brake lines with something like the Goodridge stainless steel lines. Not necessarily all at once since you have an immediate problem and are looking for a quick fix, but they're an easy replacement and very durable. Better yet, the rear lines on our Supra's are very easy to switch out, no need to pay a mechanic to do it unless you're really uncomfortable doing your own work.

And yes, in order to have the best braking ability possible I'd bleed them if you're going to drive it to a mechanic. But it won't last long since that line is leaking fluid out and air in every time you push on the brake pedal.
