clogged brake line?

[josejose]

how can i unclog my front brake line? is this possible? will a used brake line from any other car fit my 93 mark VIII or where can i find one because i went to autozone and they told me they dont carry these and to find one at a junkyard.

I would never get one from a junk yard.

But how is it clogged, I have never heard of that unless the car had been sitting for 20 years and it was full of rust.

well this is wat i was told. i changed the rotors and brake pads and now the driver side brakes arent working. when we bleed them no liquid is coming out

Cross Drilled brake lines would not suffer from clogging problems.

Well since the front and rear are separate that makes even less sense.

How are you bleeding them?

Brake Hoses Can Clog ,steel Lines Just Rust.seperate The Brake Hose From Steel Line And See If Brake Fluid Comes Out Of Steel Line.

i worked on an old Civic one time and this happened, i had no fluid to one caliper, ended up being the master cylinder......

Not sure about the Lincoln..But some cars have a metal bracket from the frame to the brake hose..It rusts and collapses the brake hose..Seen it many times on cars at my work..All u need to do is pry the metal away from the hose and see if the fluid flows..
