Had some damage to the hard piping to the front disc brakes and have been working on installation. There are two clips that I have to re-install. Does anyone have any idea how to do it? They are thick and I can’t flex them. Thank you

Dave,
CAREFULLY bend back the tabs on the body just enough to slip the clip in and CAREFULLY bend the tabs back. The body tabs are easy to break.

X2 what Clay said. Sometimes a little heat on the body tabs will help with the pliability and the paintwork from cracking.


There’s no such thing as coincidences; just unrealized connections.
