Remove that section of brake line and check to see if it is obstructed.

To close brake fluid would heat up after 10 to 15 miles.Use couple license plate to see if i was right,it work drove 20 miles or so seem find.will do it right second time | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Where I live, brake lines not tucked up into the frame would not pass a safety check. There is a reason why they put them there. | | |
