Thread: Stopping the flow of brake fluid - any tips??

Years ago we could block off a line with a brake shoe rivett.
Could keep driving untill we could carry out a proper repair.
The mail must go thru.

Well...the cling wrap and glove finger tips worked a treat. Just finished the removal and rebuild of the caliper. Pistons were pretty corroded.

so thanks all for the tips. Only lost a few drops of fluid.

Cheers
