I'm glad to hear the torch worked, I had to use one to loosen the caliper bolts.

There should be flex lines in the rear but they are upstream from the caliper. There is a Y junction on the left of the car where a hard line goes from the junction to the caliper. The left flex line connects into this Y junction. The other flex line is above the rear axle and connects two hard lines together with one hard line terminating at the right rear caliper. From a quick glance it appears there are no flex lines to the rear but they are needed for suspension movement.

I sometimes forget how lucky we are out west in regard to rust. It seems like the body of the 850 will outlive everything attached to it.
