Maybe you could disconnect the line at he master and at the brakes and blow a bit of air in with a compressor and have someone see if it blows out the other end, just watch out for the brake fluid spraying out, and maybe just cover it with a rag...

Maybe you just need to drain the front lines and empty the master of fluid. Not totally sure of all the workings of a master cylinder, but itsn't there some sort of protection so that if a line fails it doesn't dump all the fluid down it?

I know some cars use dual reservoirs to accomplish that, but not sure how the aw11's master does it, if it even does.

Anyone know if what i suggested can happen? Keep in mind though that it's not terribly safe to run around with just the front brakes
