Well me being the cheap *** decided i dont want to spend the 100 bucks for a hitch or 70 bucks for the tow hooks. I decided the Axles looked pretty strong and it is spring and im not going wheeling for awhile so I dont need in tow points.. Well today my dad said You need to pull this Tree/bush thing out of the garden. So I was pretty excited. Hooked the Bush up... Hooked the axle up... (Hooked the axle up this winter many times NO problems) And I Put it in drive Go VERY VERY slow and CRACK!~ I look under my car... And there is brake fluid everywhere... If was on the back left side. I dont know if the right side will work? I have no idea...

How much does it cost to get a car towed about 1 mile. And How much will the brake line and fluid cost?????

Im buying a hitch and tow hooks ASAP! :furi ous:

 

yea, hooking to the axle is a bad idea.

how did you have it hooked up for it to snap?

and the steel line is only a few bucks. same with fluid

 

Just wrap the tow wire around and then connect to itself..

And thank god for only a few bucks.. Now for the tow...

 

If you or someone you know has AAA its free. If not probably $50-$75.

 

ouch, thats a double bad! wrapped around axle, and re-hooking the line on itself!

 

I have AAA going to wait till my dad gets home and see what thinks.... I feel like a complete idiot.. I NEED to buy a Hitch!:cen sored:

 

if you do this repair on your own... no more then 20 bucks tops

just rent the double flare tool from autozone, along with the bender.

if you pay to have it tone... its not cheap

 

Trying to be cheap never turns out to be cheap in the end....

 

Like how not cheap??
