Can you install a new passenger side front brake line with the engine in place?
I bought pretty much all of the brake lines and hoses for my 68 clone wagon. I haven't yet attempted replacing the front brake line for the passenger side that runs directly under the engine. I believe there are clips with bolts attached to the cradle that are on each side of the oil pan. Is it possible to get theses bolts and clips out and then reinstall them with the new brake line in place? If so, just how bad will my penance be for the bad words I will have to say while doing this? Thanks

Yes, I’ve done it on my 68. Wasn’t as bad as I feared. If I remember correctly the clips mount on the rear side of frame cradle, so are accessible with engine in.
