Tape up the ends that go through the tunnel , so you don't get crap into them.Don't over torque them too much and no thread sealer or teflon tape either or anything on the threads. The section that joins the tunnel line and the rear brake compensator is a little twisted go slow and you will get it. The others are a piece of cake !!! piratenanner.gif

Use a quick shot of PB Blaster on the fittings. Make sure you use flare nut wrenches so you do not round off the fittings. Most of the hard lines are now NLA.

so these weren't nearly as much of a problem as i expected. took off some pretty bad lines and it took us only about an hours worth of work. didn't have to bend any tabs or anything.
we did have a lift and every tool known to man. brakes are much better now. still probably need to be driven/braked a lot to get them clamping really well again.
my lines were very easy to get off no rust not too much grime also.
