How do you remove the “bad” brake line from the line that leads to the master cylinder from the front passenger side? There is a folded metal place holder that holds/attaches the lines to the top of the wheel well that seemingly is meant to never be removed! I realize the replacement line I purchased is made to withstand vacuumed pressure within the line. Please help! ---

“I realize the replacement line I purchased is made to withstand vacuumed pressure within the line.” Please explain, as I don’t understand what you are referring to. Many times, with an older vehicle with a job like this, the old fluid line doesn’t necessarily need to be removed. Just make sure the new one won’t get pinched or chafed by anything. I usually make my own replacement brake/fuel lines with a flaring tool and a 25’ roll of tubing. Just cut it to length, apply new fittings, flare it, and install it. ---

I’m lost. Are you replacing the metal line that runs from the right front wheel well to the proportioning valve or the rubber hose from the caliper to the metal brake line? ---

Make that DOUBLE FLARE and install…
