How do the front brake lines comes off? Rubber ones
Hey guys,
I'm trying to get the front brake lines(short rubber ones) off but I cant figure out how that clip/nut thing works? Do you just unscrew that nut or something? What is the clip for? I cant seem to get it off...
Thanks

Note: he means a flare nut wrench. And don't buy a crappy one of those because I've had them flex and ruin stuff...
Looks like it's the same as the other cars I've worked on in that there seems to be a clip around the connection to the bracket (NOT what you've highlighted but to the lower right of it) and you use the flare nut wrench to get the line off.

Try Aerokroil or PB Blaster. Obviously this is one that you shouldn't torch, though. If you screw it up too badly then you'll have to replace the line or cut that end off, take off the old flare nut, put new one on and flare it.
I'd get a Snap On/Matco/other high-end brand. Flare nut wrenches are important to have good quality. Try Ebay or something. I had a Great Neck one from Autozone... useless junk. Stripped stuff worse than my normal Craftsman wrenches.
