Hi, I have a 66 Mustang 6 cyl with drum brakes. I am trying to bring it out of the garage after many years. I have replaced the wheel cylinders brakes and hardware. I also put in a new master cylinder. I can not figure out how to remove the upper part of the flexible brake line (front). any help would be great.

 

pull out the clip 1st.

those nuts can be a bear.

line wrench sometimes not enough and will strip flats off.

in bad case i have to use very tight vise grips.

 

Yeah, a wrench on the hose end, and a flare nut wrench on the steel end. If the nut seems corroded, there is one way to loosen it, but I hesitate to suggest it.

 

sounds scary

 

ok had to use crescent wrench. hard line came off (that's a start) but still no idea how to remove flexible line

 

Huh? Pull the C clip and it'll fall off.

 

thought that was it, but i guess i need to pry a little harder.

 

GOT IT!! Thanks for the help :-)

 

good.
sometimes those nuts are so frozen the line will twist w/ the nut.
gives a good excuse to buy new lines though.
