Default Replacing Rear Brake Pipe

'99 Fiesta failed its MOT today on a corroded rear brake pipe. Is this a home DIY job or should I get some garage quotes? If this is do-able at home is there any guides available to help me?

If you're not 100% on what you're doing I wouldn't chance it, especially where brake pipes are concerned.

It's an easy enough job if you know what you're on with. O/S/R is the easiest side, no need to drop the tank there is just enough room.

Should only be a few £'s for a new copper pipe, then 1 hours labour is way more than enough.
Ask around in the local car shops, they're sure to know someone who will do it cheap for you for a bit of cash.
