Default Ebrake and Brake Line Bracket Help

I'm in the process of uninstalling the 9" rear.

The shop that originally installed the rear took the brake line bracket off of the stock rear and modded it to fit the new rear. First, is there a way free the ebrake line from the bracket so I don't have to disconnect the primary brake line? Second, how do I remount this bracket and lines to the stock rear again? I can't remember what it looked like originally.

You can see the bracket bolted to the LCA bracket. Rear views show the ebrake line and the front view is of the primary brake line. Excuse the spider webs, the car hasnt been driven much in the past year.

That fitting should have tabs on the underside of the bracket holding it in place -- squeeze them in and they should come out.

You mean the "stuck" rotor?


If you're "uninstalling" the 9", you could always remove the rear end from the car, and then work on the rotor. You'd have a LOT more work room that way...

I thought about that and I may end up doing it that way. The benefit of having it still on the car is its held in place while I beat the S out of the rotor.
