Default brake line replacement with body on car??

I remember there was something about this from a post long ago.

Can you replace all the brake lines without lifting the body?

:smash:

Yup... I did it with car on jackstands about 16" off ground. I started with pre-bent SS lines and left the caps on cuz there is a lot of poking and proding involved It just takes patience and a little distorting here and there but it can be done in a few hours. The hardest parts were the front passenger wheel and getting from the porportioning valve to the rear driver side block.

I don't remember anything special I did...I just flailed away and it all worked out
