Can you pinch off rear brake line?

Don’t pinch the lines, you could damage them and if they fail, they’ll do it while you’re under braking. Some reason never to hang a caliper from the line. But DO open the bleed valve when pushing the piston back in.

What happens when your car blows a brake line?

This is because brake systems consist of two circuits: either front/rear or diagonal (right front/left rear and left front/right rear). When a line blows, only one circuit is damaged and the other circuit still functions. Pumping the pedal can build up pressure in the lines and give you a little bit more braking action.

What should you do if you lose your brake line?

Don’t pull the “emergency” brake. Even though losing your brakes can be an emergency, the parking brake is not designed for stopping a car in motion. Parking brakes are for keeping stopped cars from rolling, for example, when you are parked on a hill or when you are working on or under a car.

When to use the parking brake to stop a car?

The only time you should ever use the parking brake to stop a vehicle is if you are going very slowly but need to stop immediately to avoid a serious collision, such as hitting a pedestrian or slamming into a tree or building. Any vehicle can blow a brake line, but it’s more common in areas that use road salt, which corrodes steel brake lines.
