i just bought a 1998 Acura Integra four door. Find out that the brake line is busted from the front passenger and the rear driver side. People is telling me that i'm going to have to change out the whole brake line system. How much will it cost me? Or how hard will it be to change it out?

seems like you would only need to replace what is broken...

^^^ u sure? i thought that the back rear brake line is one long line that is connected to the front. im not sure though, didnt look at it. that's just what my brother and his friends told me.

Neg. its rubber from caliper to the body then hard line to the master cyl. unless you have a hard line busted then yes you will have to change it or splice it.

Yup. If its a hard line he can probably just go to a junkyard and get them for cheap.

Just replace the bad section of the line.

yep get a flare tool and the connectors and just replace the bad section. but oneSLOWex has the best idea. junk yard is the way to go as long as they didn't kill the line with the forklift.
