1997 Legacy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Hi everyone - I started to taking off the rear left strut, removed the seat, found the top of strut. Car up, wheel off etc etc. 90 percent done with the removal THEN couldn't figure out how the Brake line comes of the strut! On the new Strut, there is an opening to slide in the brake line, but on the original, NO OPENING. Please anyone? Car in driveway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 your username answers the question.. but you may want to point it out anyway what year you're isntalling on. 2005+ LGTs the rear brake hoses have nothing to do with the rear struts. They come in up the front link. you MAY be able to find a service manual or something along those lines around here.. not sure about that for 97s.

RochNY91TSI Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I know some cars have a clip holding the lines in. If that's like what you've got, you have to hammer / pry the clip out. It sort of looks like this (ascii style): I I ----/- I I Where the vertical is the line and the horizontal is where the line is fastened. The forward slash represents where the clip is, that'd need to be knocked out to release the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
