Help!
I noticed smoke coming out from under the hood of my 05 coupe and when i investigated i see that one of the black metal brake lines have rubbed against the exhaust manifold,these lines run directly under the steering rod. When i hit the brakes brake fluid sprays onto the exhaust manifold...it rubbed a hole in the line.
They both go up to the ABS box on one end and go under the car somewhere on the other end.
Can anyone tell me how to replace this line?
There are 4 lines going into the top of the ABS box..the 2 back ones towards the alternator are the bad ones.

Is everything stock, or some kind of mod?

Update...my car is ALL stock and the line closest to the engine is the one thats bad ...I called the "stealer" and they quoted me $400 to replace the line.
They said the line is about $20 but it has to be put in straight and then bent to fit

Melting Slicks
you have got yourself in a a pickle
I don't think you can buy those lines, you are going to have to repair it and that is going to be a bear because of where it is.
good luck
