2004 V70 Rear Flexible Brake Line Replacement

Post by Zeeko »

Hi all-

I just did a rear rotor/pad replacement this afternoon on the V70, and was HOPING to include a brake line replacement, but they (at least the passenger rear side) are surprisingly difficult to access at the flex-to-hardline connection!

Does anyone have words of wisdom on getting a wrench into that tight space for the hardline nut? Should I remove or loosen the bolt that hold the metal bracket in place?

And I'm also assuming it's a 13 or 14mm nut on the hardline side?

Thanks!
