I converted the back no problem but the front is being a real bitch. I got the sn95 spindles on but I cant seem to get the soft brake line off the hard line and bolt on the sn95 caliper. I've tried heating it up and using a flare wrench but it stripped the fitting, I also tried using vise grips and nothing. Can I use the fox soft line on the sn95 caliper? I know they wont bolt on but I heard you can grind down the sn95 caliper were the brake line bolts up and use new banjo bolts and it will work. Anyone use this method?


Thanks.

You will need brake line adapter fittings or a whole new ss kit since you stripped them now.

Trust me vice grips work. Clamp them real tight and tap on the vice grips with a hammer. Works every time
