c2 brake line

[Steve Pettit]

Hello everyone,
Is there any way, short of lifting the body, to replace the brake line on a 66 bb?

Thanks,
Steve

Re: c2 brake line

All the brakes lines can be replaced without lifting the body including the front to rear line on the left frame rail. It runs along the inside bottom of the left frame rail. You will have to "fish" the front to back line through the center cross member but just look at how the original line is currently run. The hardest part is getting a wrench on the brass rear block near the left rear wheel.

Steve check the archive on this I posted on it myself.I did mine and thought it was almost nearly immposible to do.Yes I did it up on a lift but was starting to think I made a mistake taking the old one out.The first clamp toward the front between the frame and the floor pan was almost impossible to remove and the only way I was able to re install that clamps bolt was to cut the bolt down to about 3/8 of an inch long.Good luck and for sure check the archives before you start
