afternoon folks, looking for help/advise.
been asked by a friend if i would replace the front to rear brake line & T piece on his e30,
thing is i haven't done those on an e30 in quite some time.
also i 'll only be able to drop the rear beam a fraction, as i dont have access to a lift or pit.
my question is what would be the best way to go about removing the T piece? had a look at it & the bolt that holds it in place looks to be in there solid, gave it a good soak in plus gas while i was having a look (god that stuff stinks) i don't fancy damaging the bracket it's mounted on.
any ideas on the best way to remove it without damaging anything?

Yep but I'll be re routing it up the side by using braided steel as the main fr/rr pipe will be braided steel as well.
Just trying to work out how to get that T piece free.

Bolt holding the tee piece unscrews more easily if all the pipes to it are cut/unscrewed, and you apply an anticlockwise force to the whole tee piece at the same time as loosening the bolt with a spanner.

It's the way I normally shift them , but I've never done it with the tank in situ. I like to drop the tank and rear subframe out, and refurb the entire lower rear end in one hit.
