I am about to do this on my '96 Buick Roadmaster wagon---under the driver's side door where the line always rusts through first. Problem doing it on the car is finding an area where you can maneuver the tool. I'm tempted to replace the entire line from master cyl. to manifold block on the rear axle, but don't want to risk damaging the fitting in the rear.
Dumb question---Why does the front master cyl. reservoir empty when the rear brake line leaks?

The front reservoir on the master is for the rear brakes and the rear reservoir is for the front brakes, it has something to do with the pedal rod pressure to the master cylinder.
