Is there an easy way?, Replacing rubber brake lines Options

[Carlitos Way]

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

Buy some PB blaster, best penetrant you can get. If your still driving the thing don't soak it with this till your doing the work as it might eat the rubber hose and blow an line. The open end tubing wrench on the line is the best, don't try without. But if the line part is already rounded I have a pic of two tools a little hard to find qualaty tools this small. Iv taken alot of messed up lines out with these. Torch Heat? last ditch effort I would think. PB blaster 2wice a day for 2day just what the doc ordered. Also always have 2 tools on the fitting. Mainly solid hold on the line nut so you dont twist the steel line. With a solid hold on the steel line nut (and if no room to turn it or break it loose) try breaking it loose turning the steel part of the rubber hose from the wheel well side by the tire. The mini pipe wrench does alot better job and easyer to use than the mini vicegrips. For those familuar with plumbing those are genuine Ridgid heavy duty and qualaty ViceGrip mini grip
