There is nothing that compares to that sick feeling you get when your brake pedal sinks to the floor due to a blown wheel cylinder. (Non-power, drum brakes...dating myself)

—”that sick feeling you get when your brake pedal sinks to the floor due to a blown wheel cylinder. “

My brother had an old IH Travelall, a brake line rusted out and did not want to tow it home.

So I explained how to mash the line against the frame, that and a qt of brake fluid would get it home.

A year or two later he tapped the bumper of the car in front in the rain.

He had crushed two more lines and was driving on one wheel brake !!!
A school teacher waiting for the time to replace the brake lines!!!
