the damn brake lines that go into the mc are frozen. i tried pb blaster, and it's still stripping it. anyone know how i can get the damn things out? it'd be a pain in the --- to put a new pipe nut on it...and i'm not sure there is enough slack in the line.
Well this may sound a little brutal but lock a pair of Vice-Grips on whats left of the flats and try to work it back and forth (and Blaster of course). The idea is to see if the brake line will remain stationary while the threaded fitting moves around it. G.P.
i tried that, and failed, ended up cutting it off and putting new tube nuts on it, was a ----- but it's all together.
Then i went through a whole friggin thing of fluid trying to get the air out of one caliper line...i always have shitty birthdays....
I just want to drive my car!
little advise then....don't work on your car on your b'day;-]
good to see you got it back together I know what a pain it can be....go easy til you know everythings right. Check and double check.
