Brake hard line

[crxb16er]

ok i accidentally broke my rear brake hardline in my crx running across the floor metal in the back, my question: is this something u can pick up or order at a typical car place like pepboys? or should i take it to a brake place and let them do it, if its something i can just buy a replacement part for then i'll definitely do it that way but it just broke yesterday and it looks like im gonna have to replace the hard line in order to make this work at all cuz its too high of pressure for normal silicon vacume lines with clamps TIA

you might get by in an emergency (or for a while if you try) with the rubber hose, if you slide the hose over the pipe a pretty good ways, they do sell regular brake line at auto stores and line bending tool(to prevent kinking) but on your model i'm not sure where or if that line pieces together. i.e. it might be one peice up to the proportioning valve. it might be possible to buy a universal coupler to re join the line, it can be tricky(depending on the mount local) bending the line to fit, the line will have to remain the same length to keep the same amount of psi to each wheel

yah it ended up being a PITA, needed a double flanging tool to do it after trying many things including soddering it together i took it to a shop (called 4 and they couldnt do it) finally one had a 2000 dollar machine to flange the ends of the 3/18ths line and connect them, i brought them the lines and still paid them 110$ just for the labor what a PITA, never throw stuff on ur brake hard lines if ur interior is stripped they will break. it was a lesson learned any way
