U know
U know how you decide to do a little truck project and it turns into a long drawn out project.
That's what my front S/S brake line job is turning into. I started last week, put the front on jack stands and pulled both front wheels. Look at the brakes and say huh... what I have and what i ordered didn't match. So get on the phone to the guy and he says just ship them back and he would ship me new. OK great. My 71 has 72 calipors on it. Ok today I decide and go ahead and take the lines loose. Well I broke my 7/16" tube wrench that I bought yesterday. Cheap o from O-reilly's. Had to use vise grips to break it loose. That was the drivers side passenger side was a little better I used a regular wrench on it and it broke loose. So my question: How hard is it to take the drivers side line loose form the tee and get it off the truck so I can get the fitting fixed. I guess it will need new line as well. It looks like one clamp under the motor mount is holding it in place.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
