damaged brake hose...

during my last attempt to diy service my right rear calipers, i noticed a deep cut in my rear brake hose... at that time, it is not leaking yet, so i thought mayb someday later i'll change it when i'm free...

from days became weeks... the last time i remember about it was few days ago, when i experienced total brake failure coming back from taman bunga raya... it was about 3am that time... with no brakes and downhill, i rolled back home by pumping the brakes continuously...

once reached home, i jacked up the car, remove the wheel and this is what i saw...



brake fluid was close to nothing... i was basically pumping air to compress the calipers...



in the midst of removing the damaged brake hose, i ran out of tools... paging everyone in the wee hours in the morning, i managed get hold of a spanar from my friend (yongsiang, thanks alot)...



the next morning, i rempit to malim jaya to buy spareparts... 1 bottle DOT4 brake fluid (Rm8), 1 brake hose (Rm24) and 2 H3 bulb (Rm20) for my burnt foglights... total Rm52 fly that morning...



the newer brake hose is a little longer in length compare to my damaged unknown origin brake hose... haha... dont care la, as long as it fits...



while waiting for someone to assist me bleeding the brake fluid, diy'ed braided brake hose using cable tie....



didnt had enough cable tie for the whole brake hose....
