Rear brake locked up a few months ago, parked the car, took a while to get the time to do this and found a rusted up caliper,. But I already have my new ones from PMB! But now I have to get new hard lines too! Which I ordered tonight any advice on removing the soft lines etc.

5 Piece Metric Double-End Flare Nut Wrench Set

10$ at HF

I just did this one.

+1 on the flare wrench.

From the looks of things I would get an extra can of PB Blaster as well.

I had the control arm off when I did mine so can't speak to the accessibility issue that Eric said was "some choice new words" trying to get it broke loose.

It may be a different story with the control arm on. I replaced the bushings and CV's and shocks and.........

Good luck.

I did the group buy for the 5 lug as well, and bought refurbished trailing arms and had PMB put in the bearings and hubs, also pivot shaft bushings etc. BUT i am not ready to put those on yet, as i have not had my Fuchs refinished yet - because i have been paining my house!!(because i could find many better things to do with my $10k that i was quoted to have it done professionally-like pay off my boxster and buy parts for the Teener!)
once that is done we will be hitting the 5 lug and some rustoration!!!

Too bad the only wrench missing from that set is the only one you'll really need.

Tip: For the soft lines, simply cut the old line off close to the fitting up by the engine shelf, then use a deep well socket to remove the fitting while holding the hardline with an "11mm" flare wrench. This is easier than trying to maneuver two wrenches in tight quarters.

Gitter done......ya don.t need the rims to start

i know, so the calipers are off- since i have to disconnect the shafts to switch out the trailing arms, i am going to go a head and pull the transmission while it is up, i have a bad RMS, leaking bad so while i am in there i am doing the rms, clutch , pressure plate etc . Might as well! and it will just have to sit until the rims are ready-
this car has not sat on jackstands for more than a month the 4 years i have owned it!(it has sat on all 4 wheels for a while though )

anyway you said you did the calipers when you did your trailing arms , good idea. ive had mine since the group buy last spring just could not get too it as i have been painting my house (4500 square feet of it)- the outside i figured better to save the money for the teener and pay my kids to help, than to spend $10k to some guy that will just fuchs it up anyway(had it stained 4 years ago, and now i have to do it over again because it was not done right the first time!!!!)

so while they are painting saturday, i will be under the car
