Dammit......
how come every time I fix something, something else breaks. Like last night in the snow, my master cylinder died. This AM BOTH brake hoses blew out. I can't win....So now I had to call out of work as I'm losing money, and now I have to deal with this crap. Any body wanna help me drive this car off a pier?

a flaring tool and a compression fitting will be your friends but if you can reline the whole system, sucky job, but worth it in the long run
EDit: i just realized he said hoses and not lines

Compression fittings are fine on fuel line but NOT on brake lines...

I concur, compression fittings will work on brake lines as a temp fix, ive seen it work, but its never a good idea (and illegal) thats why i said its much better, and proper, to just reline the whole section.

Edit: ya know what, now that I think about it, they were not compression fittings, they were unions that i saw... woops, some bad advice there, my bad bubba

I believe it's been said before, but once you start messing with stuff, especially on an older car, things are going to break. Normally sooner rather than later.
