RebekahsZ Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 Since I went coilovers, I had the concept that it would be easy to change springs, but lo, tis untrue due to restrictions by the length of the flexible brake line. I decided to "notch" the bracket on the strut tube to allow the caliper to be removed without disconnecting the brake line (which would require tedious brake bleeding). See picture. Hope this helps somebody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RebekahsZ Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 It was not an original thought, though I can't remember where I'd seen it before, perhaps it was on my first car: a 1956 FORD! I'm just glad I only slipped once with the dremel and kept from cutting a brake line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
