I'm about to install the SS brake lines. How do you get a wrench on the inboard fittings on the front brakes? The area seems to be recessed. I'm about to install the SS brake lines. How do you get a wrench on the inboard fittings on the front brakes? The area seems to be recessed.
The answer is, you can't. The work must be done from above after you remove the upper grilles and other parts. And that's the easy part because the lines are bolted through a brace or strut and there is very little room to work. Shinoo advised me that here were no tricks except to use a very thin wrench, lots of patience and a Dremel tool to expand the access spaces in the right brace. I did. I'm curious to hear the results. I changed to SS on my Volvo and it was a night and day difference in pedal feel. I doubt it made a diffence in stopping length but I never tested it. I have not been to the track yet but the pedal feel is firmer. ss lines should come stock. The answer is, you can't.

F.W.I.W ''expanding'' the hole may not be a good thing. Good things take time. Don. F.W.I.W ''expanding'' the hole may not be a good thing. Good things take time. Don. No one has, or should have, that much time. I have not been to the track yet but the pedal feel is firmer. ss lines should come stock.
Do any cars come stock with ss brake lines?
