What a pain in the ... Land Rover!! found all along the line where the plastic clips are is rusted. I had forgotten what a pain it is to flare brake lines under a vehicle. I couldn't get the union apart so I cut in above it under the hood, and ran almost all the way to the rear end until I got all the rusted line out. Now waiting for my assistant to bleed lines...

Brakes are bled, and work as good as before.. maybe a little better. Anyhow they do stop the truck so that is a good thing, and hopefully that takes care of the winter leak I had last winter. (don't use the truck much)
