Re: Replacing brakes - need some help

A little update - I managed to get those caliper bolts off - the extractor sockets worked like a charm - combined with a bunch of heat.

At this point I have all the new hardware on - both front and rear I replaced everything. I worked today on replacing the two rear hard brake lines, which went well - no leaks. I only replaced drivers side hard line up front, because the passenger side line seemed to be OK. Well, I was wrong. When I went to bleed the system, it turned out that the connection between the passenger's side hard line and the new rubber hose was leaking. I was all set to put a new hard line in on that side after I found the problem, but the die on my flaring tool broke. So I'm going to have to replace that tomorrow. Hopefully once I get that last line installed I'll be able to bleed the system and have brakes!
