I've done it before myself and yes its very easy.. however im about 11 miles from home and 1/4 mile from a place that can fix it. With about 1/2" of fluid left in resevoir im not takin the chance on braking for 11 miles with the end of one line bleeding out like a stuck pig. the price to pay to fix it now isnt worth the price of an accident and possibly hurting some one ya know. IM just gonna top off the resevoir and drive very carefully to the place. luckily ive only got 1 redlight and its I get to turn right. theres always the Ebrake for back up lol

well 230 bucks later. New shoes on both sides and New wheel Cylinders. ugh!!! only 100 for install and 100 for parts. They dont sell single sides so it would have been the same price for me to buy the parts and do the work my self. it was exactly what we all thought blown seal. and Shoes were completely soaked in brake fluid so def not salvagable.....worst part is i just paid 230 bucks for an axel that im only gonna have a few more weeks!!!
For sale 7.5 with Brand SPankin new shoes/wheel cylinders/springs!! lol in a few weeks

another easy/temporary fix would have been to cut/clamp off the back brakes by sealing/clamping the soft rubber hose that goes from the frame down to the back axle. that would have sealed your line and left you with working from brakes! i have to do that on the side of a mountain when i blew a line a few months back
