So, I purchaced some Blue Speigler SS lines for both the front and back.
With the current temperatures, I am leaning towards just having my shop change them for me. They quoted me about $50 to install the complete set and thus also bleed and install new brake fluid.
IF the temps warm up before my tire install appt on the 20th, I might want to try doing my own brake lines. I do however have two questions about doing this job.
The rear resevior is under the seat and behind the frame. Do you unscrew it and tip it under the the other wires to get it out and fill it up. Then tip it back over and under the wires to get it back in position to bolt back into position?
Then there are also things like "snap connectors" that hold the wire in place in a couple spots. (I will try to take a pic when get home). There is 1 of these on the back brake line and I think 2 on the front. I am not talking about the ones with screws on. How do you open these snap shut hose holders to get the brake line out. I am also wondering could I just cut this off because the will be way too big for the new lines. Thanks
