Attempted to install my coilovers

[cv]

I have trouble detaching the front brake lines from the stock front struts. Throw the rookie a bone here now, thx

[Fenvy]

noob

use a plyer and you can yank off the clip that's holding the brake line to the strut

three nuts at the top, two at the bottom, pull that beeeatch out!!

[Fenvy]

he does not know about the clip.. it happned to me too

you can't really tell there is a clip especially when it's been sitting there for like 13 years already

[Chingon]

pshh...i saw that clip w/o problems. You're all noobs..

[Fenvy]

I am a noob

anyways the clip was hard as hell to see on mine, it was near the same color

[Chingon]

sometimes pulling w/pliers doesn't work. What I do is I use a flat head screwdriver on the tab, and hit the screwdriver's head w/a mallet to slide it out.

[Fenvy]

noob :P

wd40 + plyer work wonders

[Chingon]

noob...you spend on penetrating oil??

PB Blaster is the greatest invention known to modern man. Screw putting a man on the moon, PB Blaster was the height of our technological achievements in the 20th century.

Anyway, I had to "persuade" my brake line clips with a hammer and large flat head screwdriver too. Just a few shots on that little lip on each side of the clip broke it loose.
