Hello,
When installing the BigBrakes and the braided hoses last week, I noted
that the front left rigid brakeline (ABS computer to left front) has a
nut that was starting to chunk off (as in a small piece of it is
missing).  I carefully tightened it and it is not leaking and works
fine, but was curious if anyone had ever replaced one of these?  I doubt
it's as easy as taking the cover off the ABS unit, removing the line and
dropping in a new one (Couldn't be that easy, could it?).
Thanks,
Jim K.


Hard brake lines are about $3 at a local NAPA, Autozone, etc. and are very
easy to bend by hand.  Just replace it, btdt on my 200q20v.  Line comes with
flares and captive nuts.
