Here's a clever idea I thought of:
When you need to disconnect the brake lines
from the wheels (e.g. for removing a rear axle),
you need a good, leakproof way to plug the brake line
so it doesn't drip brake fluid all over your garage
floor. Take an old brake hose and cut off the end
that attaches to the brake line. Plug the hole
with a nail, etc. stuck in the stump of the rubber part.
Now you can screw it into the brake line in place of the
working hose, and bravo! no drips. (Note that the working hose
should stay attached to the wheel cylinder).
