well i got the two old lines out and i ran one of the new lines from the back to the propvalve...and i stripped one of the fittings on the prop valve. now im at a loss. i have no idea how to get it out. i cant hammer a 9mm in to remove it, theres no room ATALL in there, i can barely fit a rachet in but with little success and im pretty damn sure that the other lines (from the MC and to the front brakes will result in stripping aswell since they look in the same condition...what am i to do?

 

TTT for a pedestrian

 

since the line was broken, i cut the line off and i used a box end 10mm wrench...you should cee the rust that built up.

 

box end isnt the same as the flare not wrench
and you will need the flare nut wrench

the head on a flare nut wrench looks like that

vice grip the one you have out, i ended up having to do it for mine (gas lines)
and use the flare nut wrench on the rest of them
they shouldnt strip, but still i would be careful

 

the junkyard igot my prop valve from simply cut the lines, but one line was impossible to remove, i had to take a mini-torch to it.... bt it wasn't attached to the car at the time.....
