Who has replaced the front brake lines!

Who has replaced the brake lines on the front of the truck from the combination valve to the front calipers. they run through small holes in the frame and im having a heck of a time getting them out, which equals heck of a time getting them in. have you routed around the hole? please share and save me a little trouble

only way i can get them without ruining them is using line wrench crows-feet.

Im replaceing them. I wanted to see how otuers routed the new lines

     When I took mine apart to get my frame blasted and powder coated, I removed the clips holding them and unhooked all connections and "wiggled" them out the holes.  Oh course by that time I had the bed and body off the frame.

I have only replaced lines using factory locations and routing.  Well worth the added effort to put it back the way GM intended. My $.02

Where is this particular hole that is a problem to you...on the rails or across the front crossmember? Lorne

[howlinwolf]

where the crossmember fits the frame, there are i dunno 2 inch holes or so that the lines feed through. its pretty snug fitting throgh them. i just wondered  what others have done.

do  you guys rebuild from scratch (flareing and all) or just buy the closest length from the parts store?

I buy all my lines in rolls, flare and form them to follow the original locations.
