| While attempting to remove corrosion locked rear wheels (rims locked to hubs) for balancing and rotating, while vehicle was supported on hydraulic lift, the main rear brake line failed. vehicle was operated in south central ny state for 10 years. vehicle has been mechanically inoperative since that time, though numerous new parts have been installed. the visibly corroded brake line failed during attempts to coax the corrosion locked rims from the wheels by applying lateral (90 degree) pressure to the sides of the pickup's bed, while the tires were in contact with the garage floor but with the vehicle still supported by the lift. point of failure was just in front and above the rear axle. this was vehicle's 2nd brake line in less than one year, the first having occurred on the right front brake line just behind the caliper/wheel cylinder. | |||
