Anybody have a trick for replacing the rigid brake line for the passenger side front wheel? From the junction box to the wheel, that thing must snake its way around every piece of frame and engine component. I can't figure out how to get the old one out and the new one in without bending or straightening the line out. Mine has a split in it right where it runs along the crossmember. I have ordered a new front brake line kit, but I wanted to see if anyone had any tricks for replacing it before I pulled the old one off. By the way, this is a 67 GTO.

You will have to loosen the fenderwell.
If you have the car up on jackstands. And you have a engine crane. Lift up the engine for clearence. It is a pain but it is the best bet. Other than doing it with the engine out of the bay.
