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. |

When I did mine I bent up the hard lines that run to the bulkhead and had to remove it and replace, turning the nut on the pressure regulator 1/64 turn at a time. Engine in the car. Fun times.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Feb 24 2016, 03:33 PM)  1/64 turn at a time. That's about right! Struggle to get wrenches on. Turn 1/64th of a turn. Repeat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
