Disconnecting rear brake lines at the front
#8
Crack the system open somewhere at the rear and drain down before opening the union's which are at the bottom of the bulk head/above the subframe.

To properly replace the main front to rear lines, the fue tank really needs to come out. It is do able without dropping the tank but you need child sized hands as the lines run up around the tank on the passenger side and are clipped in. They are an arse to get to. As are the union's at the front. A decent pair of mole grips and the right sized spanner help. If the union's are a complete pig and suffering from galvanic corrosion, you'll need two pairs of mole grips, a big bag of patience and an amount of luck. All this is bourne out of experience.....
