I did the 2 easy ones. Looking in there is there some stuff i can easily remove to give myself more space. I can't even get the flare wrench over the six sided part of the line. What have you done that worked in the past. I do have small hands so i can get them into the spots but it doens't do much good if i can't get the wrench on.

bill me.
i took out the subframe to do this. didn't help that i needed to use PB Blaster and a torch to get any lines off. I think people were lying when they claim this was easy to do. liars. -

i did bill you, it says i am waiting on for money or something. I was going to ship them today but i didn't have your address and i couldnt' get it from paypal until its paid.
i put pbblaster on them before i came up to the computer to ask for help. I never really did anything w/ my subframe so i dunno if i wanna mess w/ dropping it at all. I think i might be able to get them but i'll probably have cuts all over my hands.Comment

ask nice as that is to know how did you get in there, did you have to remove anything? It doesnt seem like i will be able to get much force on the ends of the wrenches.Originally posted by JordanComment

i never got anything. $ sent (looked up in history for your email)
oops. forgot that purdue account used eCheck, so send it out whenever it clears if you want. I wouldn't install them until swapping wheels from the snows anyway. thanks again, and good luck dude.Comment

My subframe was off when I did mine so it was a piece of cake. It probably wouldn't be hard to lower your subframe some to make it a lot easier, but if you have snow chances are your subframe is going to be pretty well stuck to the unibody.Comment

i got them done, and my trick is, cut the rubber brake lines short so you can put a socket over them and break them loose. Its not real hard to get the new lines tight enough since they aren't rusty and whatnot.Comment

Acces to lines.
I haven't looked myself, but a friend has a track car with a fuel cell. He cut holes in the floor for access to the rear alignment adjustments and made cover plates. Are the rear control arm mounts, brake lines, etc. under the fuel cell?
