need help please! !!

[stunter]

I was parked in my driveway and pushed on the brake pedal really hard. After I did that the pedal would go straight to tjr floor and all I heard was air. And brakes don't work now. What did I do!!!!!""

 

[bigtigga84]

is there break fluid on the ground? leaking?

 

[stunter]

Not sure its dark and didn't look yet. I just can't think of what it could be

 

[bigtigga84]

line mighta busted. only thing i can think of is there is a hole in a line that just decided to go when you pushed on the pedeal and shoved all the fluid into them. or there wasn't enough break fluid in the master cylinder and it got air in it that way

 

[stunter]

Ill check the master by it was fine before. Breaks were good before I put all my weight on the pedal.

 

[bigtigga84]

why did you stand on the break pedal?

 

[jhemi]

why did you stand on the break pedal?

seemed like the right thing to do at the time!!!

 

[bigtigga84]

lmao, guess so

 

[stunter]

Lol.. No I was leaning in the back to close my windows in thought I was pushing on the floor board but I was pushing on the brake pedal instead lol... Stupid mistake I know but I found the problem there's a hole in 1 of the metal brake lines that attatches to the frame.

 

[bigtigga84]

ahh man that sucks. one of the metal lines huh? damn man

 

[adamwilkes14]

could have blew the rear wheel cylinders...

nevermind...didnt realize you found it

 

[stunter]

Would an auto parts store sell brake lines

 

[adamwilkes14]

they do, but you normally have to bend them yourself

 

[stunter]

Thanx for the help guys!!!!

It's better you found it in your driveway than during an emergency stop. Consider this a blessing.

yeah like me. I had busted a main line off the master cylinder on my Ranger coming to a stop at a red light. was not fun

 

[bigtigga84]

Could a line like this be patched rather than ******* with the whole thing ? seems like you could break the line at the hole and force a small thick rubber hose over the pipe and slide it over the break, then clamp it with hose clamps?

Enough lol. It's a ferd what would you expect.
