3 questions. I am trying to get the front brake line off. i have it off the caliper but i can not get it off the frame side. before i cross the point of not return and cut the line and try to use a socket to get it off what suggestions do you have? i can not seem to get a grip on this thing to move it.

also my racing brake kit only came with 2 bolts and 4 washers is this right?

and is the correct line for the front one of the long ones?

I hit original factory tightened flare fittings with PB blaster and let them soak. I use a closed end box wrench wherever possible. I use professional flare wrenches and not cheap craftsman models that flex and round flare nuts. And finally, I always try to tighten 1/16 of a turn first, before backing the fitting off, puts stress and wear on opposite corners of flare nut and reduces the chance of damaging the nut.

You should use two copper crush washers per corner and one bolt per corner.

thanks guys. i got it while you all where posting. i feel like a moron fighting with that thing with the ******* clip still on. popped the clip off and it was a breeze. i already had it soaking in PB blaster. i have the provided copper crush washers on it. i only did one line tonight that was leaking like a hose. now i at least feel comfortable driving it to my buddies house with a lift to finish it up soon.
I called racingbrake and they are going to send me the additional bolts and washers.

by the looks of it i need a total of 5 bolts. 4 for each of the corners and one for the solid aluminum block ended line. am i correct?

There should be four bolts and five lines the right rear should have a crossover brake line. What is the solid aluminum ended line you're talking about?

This is what you're supposed to get:



The people that were around when Luke @ Lindsay first introduced the UUC brake line kit have mostly passed on, but a couple still remain (including thebigjimsho and Junior1) on the Cadillac Forums. I put up a general post and shot Junior1 a PM. If he responds, I'll let you know.

DrSpeed answered my question. The block fitting goes on the right rear caliper.
