rear brake line removal
rear brake line removal
I'm currently pulling off my rear brake lines to instal earl's product -
I'm aving trouble pulling off the rear right flex brake line.
(GM 7.5" rear with 1LE rear calipers)
I have soaked the fitting with penetrating oil, heated the lex line's female end but still can't get the line free....
I'm at the point that the 12mm wrench that fit like a glove is starting to round off the hardline male fitting.
What do you guys recommend I do next before I end up cutting the flex line with a dremel to try and save the hard line fitting..
TIA

Make sure to use flair wrenches. If you round it off and no wrench will fit, use a plumbers pipe wrench.
