Back in my youth I was rushing a brake job on an Austin Healey I owned
'cuz I had a date with my future wife that evening and the Healey was
my only wheels. In my haste I snapped off one of the fitting. Aaaag!
But not to worry. I just disconnected the line to the caliper and
capped it off. Voila, 3 wheel brakes! I drove the car that way for
a couple of weeks waiting for the local dealer to get in a new fitting.
For the life of me I can't remember what I used to cap off the line,
but it may have been a bleeder valve.
Believe me this wasn't the worst of the horrors I committed with this
car!
