The title says it all. One of my rear flex lines is leaking, and I need to replace it. I looked at it from underneath the car, and it looks like the top of the line will be a bear to unscrew from the rigid line, and also to remove the clip that holds it, the space is very tight.
Does anyone have any tricks to making the job easier? Thanks. |

I think I clipped the rubber line near the fitting and then used a socket. Used a screw driver to pry the clip out. Or vise grips, cant remember. Its good to replace all the lines if you cant remember when they were last done.
