I replaced my rear brake lines while I was in there and you can see why it is important to replace these every once and a while!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

QUOTE care to elaborate on your method of removal? One of the worst jobs in a 914. Cut them off by the top connection and use a deep well 14mm (I think) to remove. Clips will hold you up. Use ViseGrips to hold and tap them off with a hammer. Have an 11mm Flare available for the top hardline. You may be able to access through one of the engine shelf holes. Heat is your friend so you don't bend the NLA hardlines. It really is much easier with the engine out. |

The bubble flares aren't that hard to make. |
