My 79 262C Bertone is leaking brake fluid. From my best trouble-shooting it appears to be leaking from the brake line junction box. I think it maybe coming from the whole where the sensor goes in but I'm not sure. It is not coming from the master cylinder line and trickling down to the brake junction box. Anyways I was thinking about grabbing a junction box when I go to the boneyard tomorrow. I was already going to make a trip for some misc. stuff for the Bertone and Wagon so if I spot a clean looking box I thought it would be worth picking up.

Is there any advice as to replacing the junction box? What is the best tool for the brake lines without stripping them? What is the correct way to bleed the brakes w/o a pressure bleeder and with my wifes foot? Any and all advice will be welcomed. I hope to get the Bertone back for a smog check next week and would like to get the buttoned up before night fall tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's time.

Sincerely,
