[FWDLK] Brakes Fixed

[joe frega <joefrega@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

Well, not much of a problem replacing the rubber brake
lines.  Went pretty smoothly.  NAPA had a "close"
match - it was about two inces longer and had a hex
head, rather than round, on the end that goes through
the hole in the bracket and the clip holds it in
place.  I simply filed off the corners of the hex head
to make it round and fit through the hole.  It also
had an extended (about one inch long) hex nut at the
end going into the wheel.  This makes it MUCH easier
to get a wrench on and tighten or loosen.  I had to
remove the bleeder valve to get the old one off.

As always, I received many replies and help from list
members.  Most prominent was to replace all the rubber
at the same time (the rear and the one from the master
cylinder).  Unfortunately, I had already bought the
two wheel hoses, put them on and bled the brakes
before I received your words of wisdom.  I may replace
the other two hoses next weekend to insure safety.

Thanks again for all your help.

Joe and Jason  (now to tackle the rearend problem)
