Front Rotor? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Mon Feb 10 02:33 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I was reading the "Front Rotor" post and the answers make me think that I have missed something (wouldn't be the first time).

On my '91, there are two metal brake lines that wrap around the strut and up to a clip on the side of the strut. From the clip, hoses go over to the car body.

I have not been able to figure out how to release that clip without breaking the line apart, and even if I did, it doesn't look like it would get me very far.

Bottom line, it doesn't look to me like I could move the caliper more than a half inch without kinking the metal brake lines.

Are other models designed differently? Or am I overlooking the obvious?

Manolo
