brakes went out

If you take a steel line off,make sur you save it for a template. Buy a flaring kit and a line bender. Neither one are that expensive. You'll get your moneys worth for sure. If it is just the rubber hose just replace that. You might want to save your money, Who knows what else the a$$hole didn't tell you about. Not trying to bum you out but, if he said you could drive it and the brakes went out on you, WOW!
