WinkI have a 1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible. Brake light came on, no brakes! I found that one of the brake lines had a hole in it. Is it possible to cut the brake line and add a new line in this spot. If so what is the best way to do this. To take out the whole brake line is not possible for me.

If it is the metal brake line then DO NOT patch it. The line needs to be one piece!!! Have it fixed a a shop if need be.

You can cut it to where it is good and with a flaring tool make up the exact peice you need with flare nuts and unions made just for this. It does need to be at a spot where you can get the flaring tool in there. This is safe and a legal repair. Consider the cost of the tools vs just paying to get this done. Brake line and the little parts are dirt cheap - the tools will vary in cost by quality you want.

Metal brake line is made to be bent. Never use copper or compression fittings for brakes,
