I have spent enough money this year at the stealership so I decided to install Arlen Ness 3" extensions myself and I am no wrench. Shifter side no problem, then I get to the brake side and the directions tell me to reference my service manual which I do; however, there is no friggin detail on the removal of the rear brake line and I know brake fluid will eat through anything. Can anyone help me out with this or does anyone have a schematic I can reference?

Thank for your help.

****UPDATE**** It took at few hours and some switching back and forth; however, she is done, just need to bleed the brakes. Thanks for your help. Thank god for this site.

 

undo one side while a rag is wrapped around it to protect from spills.. put a drain pan under the line and drain out then u can remove the otherside and .. take it off..

 

Ditto. Don't sweat the brake fluid too much, everything that far downshould bepowder coated. It wouldn't be like getting it on your tank or anything. Take your time and you should be fine. Just remember to be cautious the first time you take her out for a short spin and then recheck your work for leaks.

 

The kit came with a new brake like and bracket.I have to disconnect the entire line and run the new one. That is wasI am mainly concerned about.

 

Did these myself to, like the boys said when you undo each end just wrap with a rag so you dont drip any fluid, if you spill any on paint work dont wipe off, just get a cup of water on standby and pour it over the effected spot.

 

just do what the other guys told you it will be okay did it myself also

 

One problem I had was the flat washer that came with the Ness kit would not seal. Put 2 new stock washers on problem gone. Disconnect the caliper line at the switch manifold and let it drain and you shouldn't have much fluid left in the rear line. A Mini Vac will make bleeding a snap and for 29.00$ is a handy tool to have in your box.

 

I used these and bleeding was a snap.....

I bought one of the mini vacs for bleeding and it was the best money I have ever spent.
