I couldn't be bothered trying to get at it
I took it over to buddies shop and got him to flare in a section and bleed out the rears


Wife says they are spongy , guess I will need to bleed the fronts now
It shouldn't have got air in the front but the fluid reservoir was just about empty

That sucks mine recently broke right above the rear axle and I did the same thing of just patching in a piece rather than replacing the entire line. My brakes are so much better after a full bleed out. To bad I'll never drive my truck with those brakes again lol!

I think the wifey was just hypersensitive (don't use that word with her BTW LOL)
I drove the Blazer today and all felt ok with the brakes

deja vue
broken line above the rear differential Thursday night
Wish this would have happened in the warm weather
It was to cold to even think about trying to run a new line myself
Ended up paying local garage to replace the entire line

If the resivour was about empty probably have the same thing my 98 has, air in the abs module, have fun with it my recommendation is to take it to a shop to haveb it done, 2 weeks later and 2 gallons of brake fluid my pedal is still spongy my line broke in the same area as yours, you need to have the function test done with a scan tool to get the abs to bleed, its a effing pain
