Leaking Brake Line on my Jeep

A video of the leaking brake line on my Jeep and a clip of me driving using the emergency brake cable and down shifting as a substitute for the brake pedal.

The leak was caused by the brake line rubbing against the wheel well because when the previous owner had the lift kit installed the brake lines weren't adjusted properly. So for the past 3-5 years, it's been rubbing against that edge and slowly wearing away.

@brodie1709 Haha, yeah I forgot to include the fact that I was holding the camera. This was the only footage I had because I stopped filming before I made the turn because I do eventually need both hands free to deal with the other drivers on the road lol.

@460fordtruckman Yeah it got better later though because of course the light at Peninsula drive was red so I had to come to a complete stop, by then all the rust was gone.

I just had a line break on my hummer h2, the pipeline rusted out partially which causes the line to leak. I can still use the pedal, but after braking the pedal doesnt spring back right away since the fluid pumped to stop is lost. started using ebrake with the brake to avoid stressing each one. did the warning beep too lol

@mattbjrs every time i hit the ebrake the freaking cable brakes and i cant stop
