Title: brake hose replacment.
Post by: KoolerSL2 on April 29, 2008, 10:39:24 am

this seems like a stupid question but i have to ask.
which way is better to replace the front brake hoses?
from the bottom or the top?
this is all i lack on having the front end done.
swapped in the drop spindles, power brakes, and all new calipers and hoses.

I did it from the side. Maybe I did not understand you question. Everything is accessable within the wheel well if you take your tire off.

I usually do it from the bottom, but it ain't gonna be easy either way...

thanks.
i finally got em done.
pass side was easy but the driver i had to pull the P/S pump out of the way.
ok and i have a weird question.
who makes a 3" drop spindle that clears stock 15" rally wheels?
i measured and i thought the spindles i bought were 2.5 drop but after measuring fender height it dropped 3.2 inches.
