Hi everybody!
I'm in the process of trying to resurrect my Sleeping Beauty from her slumber. She's been asleep for a few years. I've changed out the oil and gas and got her started; ran like crap but I figured I'd have to rebuild the carbs anyway.
I'm now trying to get the rear brake calipers off but I'm having some difficulty. This is kinda embarassing, since 1) all the descriptions I've found make it sound pretty simple, and 2) I've done it before.
So I start by taking my 11mm flare wrench and go to remove the brake line from the caliper and I can't get the wrench onto the flare nut. Huh? Aft of the hard line the control arm is in the way, and forward of the line is a boss on the caliper itself as shown below (i hope).
It would seem that I have to split the hard line from the flexible line at the control arm pivot. It that correct?
Oh, and this is a factory /6, does that matter?
(i was going to post some pictures of her when i get her out of the garage and cleaned up a bit, but i thought i'd get some brakes working first....)
