A-Arm Installation, brake line in the way, help...

I can't figure out how to get the bolt out of the front A-Arm on the driver side. Theres a brakeline right in front of the bolt's exit way. It's completely loosened. I just cant pull it out because the brakeline is in the way. Any suggestions?

Move the brake line??

Did that on the other side, this side I'd think I would have to bend it. I probably could take it off if it was just the nut but it has that lock lever on it. It's a 2005. I'll try to move it again but I didn't see that happening last night.

Take the caliper off. Don't let it hang by the brake line.
I used a metal coat hanger. Just cut off the hook part and bend the wire as needed.

Right at that fitting going into the wheel-well? I'm going to have to bleed the system then right?

whoops :icon_redface:

Nevermind, that was easy. Must have been tired last night. I removed the mounting nut inside the wheel well and pushed the brake line in and whoola. Very simple.
