Well i've been half the day trying to get to the broken brake line on the Tacoma.
It broke (rusted out) right where it goes into the brake proportioning valve mounted on the left frame rail above the rear axle. Had to grind off all the nuts (GD rust) and cut the other two brake lines to get it off.
I was going to take the truck bed off to get at it easier but there's no budging those bolts either
I'll have to get a new valve tomorrow as i can't get the fittings out of the old one.

Not sure how i'm going to splice those three brake lines back together (not much room to work on flaring them) going to be fun.
