Rear Beam Swap - North Herts

[rocker8742]

Chris regarding keeping your caliper on the car and just fitting them to the new beam - the pipe from the caliper joins the flexi line from the car at the points circled in the pic. Basically the join goes through a bracket with a hole in to hold the lines in place

It's not the best explanation but hopefully when you see it it will be clearer

There's a join at either end of the flexi going to solid pipe so it goes
Caliper - solid pipe - flexi - solid pipe - join to the car side

The way I found easiest was to disconnect the solid pipe where it meets the car and catch any fluid left dripping while you transfer all of the calipers and lines to the other beam as it doesn't take too long, you just have to bleed the brakes once its all back together - like Niall says though soak the join and use some heat as they can be a bugger, I found getting a couple of brake pipe spanners helped a lot as well.
