What happens here
Acquire a new hydraulic line to replace a previously identified rotted line. Before installation, inspect the new line's fittings for any obstructions. In this case, a mud dauber's nest was found inside a fitting. Use brake parts cleaner and a Milwaukee M18 inflator to forcefully clear the obstruction. Confirm the line is clear by blowing through it or visually inspecting.
Goal: Prepare a new hydraulic line for installation
