Rear Brake line
I need to pull off my rear passenger caliper (70 vert)to see why my emergency brake shoes are not spreading. The brake line runs over the through bolt (I'll have another question about that). If I remove the brake line (or should I chance bending it out of the way) is there a possibility of the flair going bad (leaking) ?
Question#2 - I had ordered new brake caliper bolts (Wilcox).When I received them, they are about 1 1/2" long (8 in total) I thought I would be receiving new through bolts. The box does say caliper bolts. Emailed Wilcox - no reply. What would these bolts be used for ?
Thanks !

First question: big chance of kinking and breaking the solid line if you try to bend it, not so much the flare.
Second question: You probably got the bolts that hold the caliper halves together, not the bolts that attach the caliper.
