I need to replace my 4Ss front to rear and transverse brake lines at some point, and wondered if it was something that can be DIYd. I have a talented friend with a four-post lift and decent tools who knows his way round vintage cars who's offered help.
- firstly, is this practical, or does a world of pain await...?
- is there a how-to anywhere? All I've found online are just about the flexi pipes from the caliper.
- I would like to use Cunifer rather than the OE ones. Does this pose additional problems?
- I am worried about the rear pipe that goes over the 'box. Is there any way of threading a pipe over without dropping engine/box as I'd rather not do that until it needs clutch/RMS?
- any particular pratfalls... I'm guessing seized/sheared bleed nipples, anything else to consider?
I'm annoyed that my indy did not recommend replacement of the rear line when the thing was in bits having the AOS done, but that's water under the bridge...
