My rear brake line broke and in the process of looking up torque specifics on the new one i bought i have discovered that this is happening a lot with dodge. the lines are rusting through because i believe regular steel is being used instead of a treated or stainless which would resist corrosion better. luckily i was able to downshift and use my emergency brake instead of facing a tragedy. i can see where some people would panic and not think to do this to pull of the road safely. it is a scary feeling to push the brakes and have nothing happen. the way the brake lines are run is also very inconvenient and most of the time require the gas tank to be removed which is difficult for most and can be costly to have a mechanic do it. i was fortunate in that the line broke just above the gas tank so i was able to pull it through the retaining clips. *tr | |||
