I have a 2003 Blaster that is leaking brake fluid out of the parking brake. I know I probably dont even need the parking brake but I am interested in how to stop the leaking on the cable. Is there a kit or can you buy the cable somewhere. Also is this an easy fix? Also if it is easier to just remove the parking brake that would be good for me too don't need it anyways. I would appreciate any guidance to get me going again.
2003 Blaster Leaking Brake Fluid Through Cable

Is it leaking out of the rear caliper you mean?? If so, get a parking brake block off plate. parking brakes are usless, IMO, even on cars (neither of my jeeps have parking brakes).
Had you messed with the brake at all??

well if you wanna go true redneck get some jb weld
but if you wanna do it right get the block off kit

I think you are saying the hose is leaking, a cable absolutely does not have fluid in it (other than lubricant) If the hose is leaking it needs to be replaced.
A pic would help satisfy any further speculation.

Dude...u gotta specify where the leak is....get us some pics....if its leaking right where u bolt the hose to the calibur then make sure u have two copper waskers...one in between the hose and bolt and one between the hose and calipur...i had this problem and doing that fixed it...if its not that then get us some pics...i dont know bout everyone else but i really dont no what ur talkin about...hope that helps!
i dont have pics of it yet.. but its not leaking out of there ..it is like a mouse was eating through the hose or almost like a razor blade cut in the middle of the hose. it runs from the parking brake all the way back to the caliper its not the caliper or nothing like that there is just a hole in the hose
I really don't think you are going to get you problem resolved without some pics.
As far as I know the only thing that runs from the parking brake lever to the caliper is a cable, not a hose, and like I said before cables don't leak.

is there a website i might be able to get one at but yea thats my problem its cut not a big gut just a small hole but yea the cable that runs from the clutch handle all the way to the calpier is the one that has the hole it looks failry easy to replace let me know if you have any good websites for blaster parts
replacing your parking brake cable won't fix the leak. like it was stated before, cables don't leak! lines leak! check your rear brake line and see if its leaking and maybe fluid's running onto your parking brake cable.
ok heres the deal i took the whole brake cable off and taped it really good where it was leaking it no longer leaked but i was riding it earlier today and it was leaking somewhere really bad i looked up twards the headlight and it was like a hose with nothing connected to it i think it went back to the carb. i have yet to take off the front but will be doing that soon anybody have. Any idea where this hose connects to??
