brake lines...

[laam999]

ok, I'll keep this simple. how the f*ck do you remove the rubber brake lines? I've managed to get one off the metal connector but the other 3 are baffling me and for the life of me I can't get any of the muddle part of the line off the car. I may be being exceptionally dense but I'm lost. I only have these to do and 2 and a held years from buying I'll be ready to mot. please help

I too was flummoxed at first when I removed mine.

There is a metal tab to slide off the undersiide of the bracket where they are fastened to the chassis in the wheel arch and a C-clip on the upper side of the same bracket. The latter can be difficult to see as it is usually bunged up with crud. A good wire brushing will help. Once these are removed the line will pass through the bracket.

Ends unscrew but can be tight so a good wire brushing and a thorough soaking with plenty of Plusgas first will help.

Good luck
