NOTE: any tips and or advise in loosening the rubber brake hose 5/8”??? They’ve been soaking for a week in Pb and still won’t let go… thanks everyone and happy wrenching!
given the state of affairs, i'd be replacing the hard line there. so i'd pop the clip and just cut the line and thread it thru.
on an unrelated note, re: swaybar, your best bet is just to go with an aftermarket unit (hellwig 55914). hunting down stock LCA's with tab, bar & mount brackets is near impossible and will be crazy expensive.
