Pointers Installing Steel Braided Brake lines

[Vet Interested]

I am looking at installing steel braided brake lines on my 2010 base. I have not found much info on installation of the lines. I have installed powder coated calipers on two C6's but reused the stock lines. How hard is it to remove the brackets bolted to the car and the brackets the slide over the brake line? It looks tough. A couple of guys who have done it says it is possible to remove only the bracket that slides over the line and not remove the bracket that is bolted to the car.


Any special tricks getting them off? The rears look like they are the toughest because of how tight it is back there. This job has me a little concerned. Appreciate your time and any help you can provide. Thanks for the help.

It's not hard, but takes time and patience. Did you know GM recommends that you shouldn't use braided stainless over rubber in Vette applications?

I did not know that. Why?

I didn't pay much attention to the release, and I don't remember the details. Try google.

Actually I found it. It has to do with the steel braided lines causing interference with the TPMS.
