Question removing brake line... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

How do you remove the rubber line that goes from the frame to the rear axle? I started to get it to turn out of the block on the rear end but it quickly started to bind up. Also, mine is pretty rotted, and I would like to replace it, but even LMC doesn't seem to have a picture of this thing. My truck is a 3/4 ton, with helper springs if that would make a difference, 1970, pb...

It should be held in with a spring clip - you should be able to take the spring clip off and push the fitting thru the frame and grab it with a wrench - so you end up with one wrench on the hard line and one on the soft line
If this does not work cut the soft line, disassemble the line at the coupler in the middle of the frame rail and pull the entire line out and replace or disassemble the line on the bench

Thanks,

You wouldn't happen to know a part number for it?
