Brake lines

["Peter Plangger" <pepe@z.zgs.de>]

Hi Folks,

I'm quite new to the list and after some reading and writing I see
that my experiences with my current Audi are shared by many others.
Great ride, good interior and exterior design but bad brakes and
baaaad electric stuff.

So this is my first question:

All the four of my front brake lines have to be replaced (the rubber
lines) because they're spilling the brake fluid. I think the lines may
be a little short which means they are bent too much when the wheel is
put on full lock.
Problem is: what do you put on the steel brakes line to keep the fluid
from running out while the rubber lines are disconnected?
Last time I used my younger brother's finger but I don't think he
liked it very much.

thanks in advance,

ByeBye,
Peter
