Hill Holder repair question

[Petersubaru]

MY hill holder is leaking and I have removed the cable completely, but it still leaks and I was wondering if new brake lines with female -ends could by-pass the hill holder if they can be bought...scrap yard parts are not available to me

You should be able to bypass the hill holder, i wouldn't see why you couldn't. Don't really need a hill holder in Michigan anyway.

What part of the hill holder is leaking?

 

You may have a "dual diagonal" braking system depending on the year.

 

Be careful what you seal off you may loose part of your braking system?

I may have one, mine was leaking, but it fixed itself, If its not at my parents in San diego, i'll let you know.

I installed new O-rings in my hill holder about 7 years ago and it hasn't leaked since. Just make sure you use o-rings compatible with brake fluid - I may have used viton but not sure. Make sure you don't use buna-N as it is NOT compatible with brake fluid. Oh - and of course they are metric.

I removed the H-H from my '82 BRAT, using the "T" fitting found on the H-H bracket, and another "T" from a scrapped car. So yeah, it can be done.

 

If you want to keep the H-H on yours, I have a good one here I can send your way.
