Hey if I missed that I apologize. But, I see that there's no mention of that there now.

I had the same problem happen on a '67 VW Squareback I used had years ago. Driving along, hit the brakes - front wheel locks up, all others are fine. Brake hoses look ok (albeit old) from the outside, but inside deterioration caused the line to become clogged. and not drain.

Two new brake hoses and I was off to the races... At least, as much as you could race in a car with about 75 horsepower. (lol)

Yes I had the same problem with a '62 Mercedes Benz 190 SL. Post 9 is where the OP says he replaced the flex lines.

Thanks for posting guys.
I have to put the brake problem on hold for a while. I have work backing up in the shop and I have to make a living.
70 Steed let me look at his Bronco for comparison. All is the same except for the 'H' block that is mounted on the frame. Can someone tell me the purpose of the 'H' block? Is it just a junction for connecting hard lines?

Never knew there was a special procedure after bleeding. What is it?
