changing brakes lines, looking at the rear, i got it off the caliper, but it looks like theres 2 small notches holding the connection from the line to the metal part where it bolts up to so the bolt won't turn. How do i get the side thats not attached to the calipers off. should it just be a simple turn of the handle? or do I have to unclip something? :;EDIT::

Okay so i got 3 of them off, but one of them is stripped, I tried WD40 and it won't budge. Any ideas on how to get it off? If worst comes to worst should i just leave one stock and 3 new?,..... how ghetto would that be..... Thanks for hte help!

It's a flare fitting, just unscrew it with a pair of vice grips. The clip holding the line in place gets pulled out so you can swap the line once you unscrew the fitting from it. Just grab the edge of the clip and pull.

 

okay this is going ot be the most retarded quesiton. but i'm suppose to unscrew the silver(bottom part) not the top small 11mm black nut right?

 

hang on there. You use a 10mm (not 11) flare nut wrench, not a regular wrench or vise grips. Loosen the top nut, pull it out of the hole. Then take a pair of pliers and pull the metal clip (holding the bottom, on top of the metal tab) out. The bottom portion should come out then.

You'll want to make sure that the new lower fitting fits inside of the "notches" when you reassemble. They basically just keep the bottom part from turning while you turn the top part. I had to open mine up a little bit with a dremel to get them to fit. (goodridge lines)

 

aha yea i just tried a 11mm and apparnetly it was just all the crap covering the nut. Okay thanks. i'll give it a try

 

worked... but new problem

 

buummpp

 

anyone?

 

what's your new problem? edit: If it is stripped use vice grips.
