Broken brake line connection…. Need advise!

[Rich12]

If the brake line is broken, yes it is.  That means the brake that line services is not working.  In fact, im wondering how you havent pumped all the fluid out of the system with an open line.

Here is a picture of my issue…. again this is the starboard side on the back axial.  The broken line connects the right side to the left side.  I have a new hydraulic hose on order from BassCat.  I am hoping to bleed the brake lines and refill everything on my own.   Any advise on this particular setup would be greatly appreciated.   It appears the lines start from the actuator down the starboard side going from right side front caliper to back caliper then across the back axial to the back port side caliper then up to the front axil caliper.  The bleed screw is located on the port side front axial.

These poly lines have a small bronze fitting and they can be impacted by debris like a tire carcass, causing the break. You can replace this with a rubber line, contact us for a new stainless, or go back to the poly line. The brakes were not operating if this line is in this condition and that hose appears to have been broken a while.

Do yourself a favor and replace both rear lines since the system will need to be filled and bled anyway. If the first one went do to fatigue, the second one may as well.
