  With the idea, that sometime I will be repacking front bearings, or trimming down the rotor some, I realize I would have to be unbolting the brakeline from the caliper each time...
Ok, it wont be often, but I hate to be undoing breaklines when I dont have to.

So since I cooked the rubber of my flex line hose through a bad choice of grounding during welding .... 888........ I found this




it is a flex line that goes from the caliper to the hard line underneath the car.

Now when I need to deal with bearings or rotor, I "just" unbolt the caliper and move it out of the way without undoing the brakelines



Just wanted to pass this along.........
