fordmerc Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Planned to replace wheel cylinders ('41 120). I find the brake line to the right is "dented" . It is hard to conceive how it happened. This is a problem, correct? In order to replace it I need to free-up that Tee just to get at the line nuts. How is the Tee attached to the axle tube? Any other comments/advice on replacing those lines will be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HH56 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 That corrugated cap should pop or pry off and there is a special hex head bolt with a vent hole thru the center holding the brass block onto the axle. Be careful not to damage anything when removing the tube. It should be a normal inverted flare fitting but sometimes those tube nuts can be stubborn and trying to hold the block and get things loose causes damage. Take the opportunity to clean the hole thru the bolt to ensure no grease has congealed and is blocking the vent when you put it back on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
