Hello all. I just recently bought a salvageable 914 for a good price. As of now, its up and running but I’m having some trouble with my brake lines. In the process of taking the old rubber hoses off, I came across a problem, the top bolt on the rear hoses. Has anyone had an experience with this? I had to contort myself in quite a position to even get the wrench up there. I would appreciate any suggestions, but keep in mind that the engine is still in the car.

I have not done this but I have heard that if you remove the funnel and tube from the engine bay, its a straight shot. Also think about using the crows feet wrenches...stub wrench ends that fit on to your socket extension.
