Subject:      HELP - how do I replace front brake line???
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed

I must replace the right front brake hose on my 88 GL. I have the new
hose but can't get the old one out.

The upper end of the hose is fastened into some sort of little clip that
I can't for the life of me get to loosen up in any way. I looked  ETKA
and the drawing was insufficient to tell me how this thing fastens
together. Bentley was useless.

Any description or decent pictures of how the brake line, the brake
hose, and this clip are fastened and hold together, and how they come
apart would be appreciated.

Thanks.

John Rodgers
88 GL Driver
