quick disconnect brake lines? Looking for some feedack on if quick disconnects for brake lines are a viable option? What i'm curious on is are there quick disconnect brake line fittings that are safe to use if at all? if not, I will re reroute the brake lines next time I pull the motor and see if i can run them along the firewall so they don't get in the way or something like that.

Context for the question is I always drop my motor out the bottom on the camaro (engine/trans together always and I don't want to go out the top). One of the things I dont like is that I have to always disconnect and rebleed the brake lines and this is the worst of it. I don't run ABS so it's not that hard, but would like to avoid it if I could.

yeah I hear ya, i'ts that line that goes from distribution block to passenger side. I'm thinking I'll just re route that one along the firewall next time and then I can do as you say. I don't have the stock line there anyway now, I custom made this one many years ago. Just regret not rerouting it when I did it.

Pretty interesting product there. Would definitely make things easier.
i have pulled motors and trans on these cars countless times but never out the bottom. Always come out the top.
Hell I pull the motor and trans TOGETHER out the top. Had my engine and trans out 3 times in a weekend using just a checker picker by myself in the garage this December. Current car had the middle of the core support cut out for a vertical radiator so it’s REALLY easy. But my old car still had the core support and I still was able to stab the motor and trans from up top lol
