Truck Repair: Quick Question, kind folks, brake fluid

Question
Hello Kind Folks,
           I have a 1970 Ford 3/4 ton pick-up and the brake line that goes from the motor to the front passenger wheel appears to have a slit/cut/leak in it.It doesn't look to hard to replace,but I am certainly no mechanic.Can anybody tell me anything or maybe point me to a website that might have a diagram that could show me how to take care of this type of problem?Also,would I have to bleed all the brakes when I do this,which I have never blead brakes before.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
                   Sincerely,
                   Skyler


Answer
Trace the brake line to its origin.  You should be able to take it loose from both ends.  Once it is off, go to a good parts store, such as NAPA or ALL PRO.  They can fix you up with an after market line, which you can bend as necessary to fit it back in place.  Once you install the line, your brakes will need to be bled.  This will require two people.  The easiest way to bleed your brakes is as follows:  Your brake lines go to your wheels.  You should see a small fitting with a hole in it.  This is your bleeder screw.  Fill your brake reservoir with fluid.  Have someone mash the brake pedal until it's hard to mash.  It may take more than once to accomplish this.  Once the brake pedal is hard, with pressure being held on the brakes, crack open the bleed screw.  When the brake pedal goes to the floor, tighten the screw completely.  Make sure the brake pedal is not released until the screw is tight.  Do this until brake fluid pushes out of the bleed screw.  You do not want any air coming out the bleed screw.  It's best to bleed all four brakes, starting at the farthest one from the master cylinder.  Hope this helps.
