Removing the Brakes: Step 11 - Disconnecting the Soft Line from the Hard Brake Line

Grab your flare nut wrench. You do have a FLARE NUT WRENCH don’t you? Use your flare nut wrench to disconnect the brass fitting located on the hardline side of this bracket located at the top of the fender well.

*Note you may need to use a penetrating lube like Liquid Wrench to help break the hardline fitting loose.

Once the fitting is disconnected grab you pliers and slide out the metal retaining clip holding the softline in place. (Keep this retaining clip. You WILL need it later.) Remove the soft line and set it aside.
