front brake line question
Didn't find an answer in the search....
I wanted to see if anyone here has replaced the hard line for the left front caliper, from the distribution block to the flex line.
It appears to run under the upper control arms and I was wondering if it can be persuaded in without taking the front end apart.

what year is your car? what side pass or drivers side? I have pics of both in my photos. If your car is a 77 you should be able to change both without removing any front suspension parts.

... and put some tape over the ends as you get it into place ....
unless your chassis and engine compartment are spotless.
Masking tape is fine ... just keep the greasy dirt from getting jammed
inside and on the nut threads. If it is not stainless, give the line a
shot of clearcoat before installing.
Good Luck
