How in the wide world of sports do you get the rear soft lines disconnected from the main hard lines?!?!?
Can't figure out how to get any leverage up in there... |

I replaced the rear hard lines that run from the firewall to the soft lines at the calipers. Engine in the car. I’m no mechanic. It just took patience. Especially getting them tight at the pressure regulator. 1/16 turn at a time, flipping the wrench each time to get it to the next 1/16th.
Soft lines do go bad so don’t give up. |
