I know a lot of you have replaced their old rubber brake lines with stailess.
got my back one on , but am having trouble getting the 3/8 brake line nut off right on inside of frame - hard to get to because of flange on frame - have a straight 3/8 brake line wrench, but cant get the angle on it I need . do they make an offset wrench for this or what . Any suggestions appreciated. (talking about front lines )

try pulling the clip off the rubber line then pull the hard line thru the frame . might have more room on outside of frame. good luck joe
