Help to identify braking line
Hi guys,
I need a little help to identify braking lines. Pics are attached.
It seems "hard" line , and not sure how that happened but it is leaking.
Slowly , but surely . I add braking fluid once per week and it keeps level in Master Brake Cylinder (well, nowadays - once per month, as i am driving very little, but "nowadays is exception).

Also, location seems to me not DIY friendly, so anyone would have any idea how laborious it would be to replace if i would do it myself?

Thanks for any help & ideas.

The bend in the line looks kinda odd so I wonder if someone has already worked on it. Maybe put a new flare on that end but didn't do a good job. It's not too hard to replace because you can just about sit up under there if you remove the spare tire. I've found the easiest way to remove the threaded end is to cut the line close to it and tap a socket onto it. Have your new line prepped and ready to go so you don't lose too much fluid.

That's an M10x1.0mm flared fitting that goes into a junction.

Given your question I would recommend getting a professional to fix. Won't cost too much and your life is at stake if that fails.

If you replace that yourself you will also need to bleed the brakes when you're done. I second the motion that you should probably take it to a brake specialist for repair.
