Replacing all brake lines on this 96K1100LT. Only one left is proving difficult.
Brake hose from front MC connects under a lot of wire and in between frame members. Took off the radiator to access the hard pipe connection but it is still very difficult to access with wrenches.
Has anyone done this and can you offer suggestions? I do not want to move the packed in wiring harnesses if it can be avoided.
Access connection from top or bottom?
thanks,
J
Update. I searched the forum and found guidance. unbolted the clamp on brake lines and that gave enough separation to access hard brake line connection under headstock frame and wiring. Mission accomplished.
