carefully unclip the brake lines along the firewall , one at a time, use something to keep the modulator propped up , if you have a 4 or 5mm allen bit (it's one of those sizes:-)
the other end of the allen bit is usually 10mm , so that end fits in a 10mm ratchet spanner , if you don't have those tools you could cut down an allen key and use it with 1/4 drive ratchet
I did it in situ as well, remove the plastic clip which holds the lines together and gently lift it as much as you can and put a piece of wood or something under it to hold it lifted, 15cm is enough to work with the allen key ''in blind" , i used a small two way ratchet with the proper allen head attached...as said a bit fiddly but doable
Thanks guys. That's what I figured I'd have to do (upsidedown) was looking for a way to unclip the lower brake line mount by wheel well in hopes to give me a bit more height. I do have the bits and 1/4 drive.
Buy a 4mm Allen socket for a 1/4" drive.
It fits nicely under there and makes it a breeze.
Option B all the way...
Yup. Couldn't be bothered going all the way up to Bunnings (if they even have them). So I just cut a longer 4mm hex key down to fit, held box up with one hand and just wound the key. All up took maybe 30 min to do start to finish.Quote:
