Oh dear. Do you mean the brake fluid line is leaking?

Not sure if a screwdriver will fix it but let's try that first.

Looks like it's what's called the wheel cylinder. It's the piece that causes the brake pads to press against the drum (I'm guessing this from where the leaking is happening).

Screwdriver is good. Might need a torque wrench too.

Don't know enough about wheel cylinders to know how costly that repair will be! Sorry to hear about this, Sputnik.

This is one of my favourite websites. You can ask it any ol' stupid question and it's already been answered. So this is how to use a torque wrench! :D

I'm doing massive triage, simply not opening as many threads. At home I'll have tribe open and a third tab to Stumble.

Can we get some sort of Feng Shui expert in here to get things flowing again?
