What do you do to cap off the brake lines so that moisture won't get in.

I may need to take my current front brakes off to swap with someone. it may take up to a week or more for me to put them back on. The only place I can work on my car is my driveway so it will have to sit outside for that time. I don't want to leave the brake system "open". Any ideas?

You can get some soft plastic caps at Home depot in the hardware section that will stretch over the connection nipple. Stick a piece of tape on that to make sure they don't get kicked off. And make sure you put a notice on the steering wheel that says "DON'T PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL!"
