Brakes...now after

[Kneale Brownson]

I replaced that line too.  Along with the one that goes over to the
passenger side flex line.  Did 'em all with different lengths of made-up
metric line from Flaps.  No ISO bubble double flares required.  Try to keep
some of the bent-up rusty crap so you have some guidance as to where to
bend the new.  I soaked the "T" connector on the driver frame rail and the
Left-right regulator connections all with Kroil for several days before I
attempted to disassemble anything.  I was gratefully surprised at how well
they came off, although I cussed a lot about the amount of space available
for the wrench.  I seem to recall it was easier to get the connection on
the driver side of the regulator if I disconnected the E-cable and pulled
it loose.  I kept kicking myself in the backside for not replacing all that
rusty junk while I had the differential lowered for the fuel tank
replacement project.  Everything would have been a bit easier to get to then.
