<VV> Re: BRAKE TUBING

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i do not remove the tank to replace tubing on early or late cars. i cut the 
old tubing as close to fittings as i can. then yank it out. sometimes i have to 
get up to the clips with a long screwdriver to pop them loose. i then remove 
the ends with a socket. then use old line as a pattern adding a couple inches 
to work with. you can always tuck extra out of the way carefully later after 
getting both ends hooked up. i put a slight bend about 6 inches from the end i 
start pushing behind the tank. it takes a few minutes to get it , but once you 
do it it goes good. i put a dab of silicone at both ends to tie it down. 
works good, and if you  go carefully you can make it look good also by pushing it 
around with a blunt bar or screwdriver after both ends are hooked up.  i have 
done many cars this way with no problems. it is quicker and safer than 
removing the tank.
