I have been having issues with the right rear brake setup. The right rear wheel was seized when I got to the garage. It appears to have a collapsed flex line. Something I have heard of but never experienced. That would explain all the problems. With the car on the hoist and the brakes pumped up the right rear wheel was locked. Releasing the pressure by opening the caliper bleed valve allowed the wheel to turn. So now to remove 44 year old rear flex lines.
Even using the special wrench for the job the fitting didn’t want to move. So I cut the hoses and got them off that way.
The problem was that the nut was seized onto the brake line. The lines appear to be in good shape so to save them I heated the fitting till it was red and that loosened them up nicely.
Two nice new flex lines. Sold by Raybestos, but made in China. China can make good stuff if that’s what the buyer wants. Hopefully this is the case here.
New flex lines in place. Time to bleed the lines 🙂
