| Almost total loss of all vehicle brakes following the rupture of a front brake hose. earlier that evening i had a crash into a sign post. i had evidently damaged the right front & rear tires, as they went flat on the way home. in the process of getting the car home, the damaged right front tire had punctured the right front brake hose. i then nearly lost all brakes including the rear ones. the pedal went to the floor. after the repair of the hydraulic system of the front brakes, i regained full hydraulic braking power. i would have thought that i would have some rear brakes in the advent of front brake failure. *ak | |||
