Starting to reassemble things after rebuilding trailing arms, dropping engine, etc.
I plan to replace the rear brake lines and hoses while I am at it. In looking at rear hoses at PMB I see the following comment: "This is one of the toughest jobs on a 914 but, if you need them... you need them." Just curious, what makes this difficult? Does the engine or trailing arm block something (hard to tell with them both out). I just want to make sure I put everything back together in a logical sequence. |

With the engine and exhaust on, space is very tight which is what makes it so difficult. If you have the engine out its a breeze.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I managed to do this with the engine in, but it IS very tight and was painfully slow in terms of making progress loosening and tightening. Make sure you have a proper 11mm brake (flare nut) wrench to do the job. And/or an 11mm flared crowfoot may make it easier. |
