Rear flex brake line removal on an '87
How does one remove the flexible brake line (rear) on an 87-89? One side of the flexible brake line is attached to a permanent mounting bracket. On the back side of the line, there looks to be a nut, but the recess is tight and shallow. Do I need some kind of special tool? I don't think a flare wrench would fit in there. Anyone know the size I'd need so I can give it a try (gotta go buy the wrench tomorrow)? Is it unusual to install SS lines on a late model because of the super-duper spring coil the wraps around the brake line?
Thanks in advance! Last edited by rytanner24; 12-31-2009 at 11:36 AM.. |

I always use a flare with no problems...don't want to let that hard line turn (that's for sure).
No, it's not unusual for people to install the SS lines (protective covering, for sure). You won't, however, be able to "see" what the line looks like over time....trade off, I guess. I just recently changed mine out and went with stock rubber flex lines. Good luck.
