??? Isn't that what I said ?
" In many (if not all) books that I have read before replacing my brake lines it said that it is impossible to replace the long line without lifting the body.
My lines were leaking so I had no choice but to replace them.... I left the body on, I removed the long line without cutting it.... I thought "if I can get it out without cutting or excessive bending, then I can get the new one in without lifting the body"
This turned out to be true - no problems whatsoever getting the new stainless line in there.... well, it's tight but it can be done...
Don't let the books scare you, sometimes (fortunately) they are wrong !!! "
