Config. question: MWC 9"; LCA brake bracket removal ?
I'm currently installing a MWC 9", its pretty obvious that the stock stamped sheet metal pieces (L & R) that sandwich the rear LCA mounts are no longer needed as the caliper brake line mounts and emergency brake cable mounts are welded to the new rear.
I wanted to swap out rears without bleeding the rear brakes; it looks like it’s impossible to remove this bracket without disconnecting the line where it connects to the rubberized/flexible portion of the brake line.
Question: Is this assessment correct?
Thanks.

yes... you will need to separate the line from the hose to complete the install. this is the way the factory mounted the hoses so that's how we do it. it is not hard at all to bleed the brakes... all you need is a drain pan, a 10mm wrench, a foot from a helper, and maybe a pint of fluid.

The stock braket does not go back on, right?
