I had been leaking brake fluid from the rear lines since I bought the car about a year ago. Well, they finally let loose. I "know" ("" because you never know for sure until you try) from experience that the wheel cylinders bleed valve probably won't come out in one piece and since I need the car in a few hours I looped the 2 rear lines together. Any experienced mechanic who is in the rust belt should know if you patch a rusty line another pin hole will show up elsewhere. I ended up undoing the lines (yes, 2 rear lines at the master) up front and making a loop re-using the fittings for it. Brake feels solid now. Hopefully it will be good enough for a little bit.
