LCA Relocation Bracket Question Yesterday I started installing the laundry list of suspension mods I've accumulated for my car. While I was under my car installing other items I looked over what I would have to do to install my LCA Relocation Brackets. I noticed that I have to remove and cut a brake bracket. I only looked it over quickly but I couldn't see how to remove it completely. I'm not 100% sure on how to remove the brake line that goes through the bracket. This is what I'm talking about.
I figure when I take the tires off today and look at it from a different angle it will become obvious. The thing is I figure I'd make up a quick thread just in case it isn't obvious. That way I wont have any snags along the way.

I just cut the brackets with a 4" angle grinder without removing them. That way I don't have to deal with bleeding the brakes, which would be required if you removed the line.
Just put the bolt in from the outside hole without going all the way through. Take a pair of channel locks and bend the bracket back to where it is clearing the corner of the existing control arm mount and cut the unneeded portion off.

Thanks bro for moving my thread, that's a clean *** ride!
Sounds like the plan! I guess I'll just clime under there with the grinder and get stuff done!

On huge long posts, I often use notepad and save then copy and paste. Too many times have I hit "post" and then gotten the "couldn't find page.." error.
But anyways, back on topic
