Hi,
I'm wondering if there's an "easy" way to remove the rubber brake lines. I can get the lower part out, no problem... but is there a trick to removing the top part? hard to get in there and break it loose. thanks, Carlos |

There is no easy way. I often use my plumbers torch to heat the joint. You have to be very careful doing that. First, drain the line, you don't want fluid in it if you use a torch. Apply a little heat, and try the flare wrench. The plumbers torch is acetylene without the oxygen, and makes a very small hot flame; small controlled flame is the reason I use it, and why I don't use a propane torch. An assistant with fire control equipment on hand is a must when I try this. |
