brake pipe

[woodmonkey]

my brake pipe has corroded (front to rear), i've been trying to take it off, got the ends undone, and it's loose, but is seems to be stuck somewhere behind the fuel tank, do i have to take fuel tank off or is there an easier way

if the pipe,is fubarred (which why would you be removing if it wasnt...), cut it and then pull the other way....

i would, but fulsunian is gonna make me a new one, and wants it fos a template, and won't i have to do the same to get new one on?

Ian isnt that daft.. he will be able to make a new one....................... its only the length thats needed... a little longer as it wont be possible to make it fit exactly where the old one went..

Of course if you really want to make a lot more work and potential issues for yourself.. drop the tank.....

thats what i wanted to hear. i'll cut it now!!!!

thats what i wanted to hear. i'll cut it now!!!!

And if ian cant make it..... I'll have to come over with my stuff and do it....
