Jimny lift advice
baz2236:
Brake lines are easy as long as you can undo the orginals. Plenty of wd I ended up using mole grips. Just make sure there's no twists or turns in the new brake lines. When you bleed the brakes don't forget the load balancing valve just above the rear axle. And check your rear drums are adjusted up well to get a decent pedal.

Well five and a half hours later it's lifted and brake lines done.
Baz, I can only find 3 bleeding points for the brakes, 2 on the front calipers and the one on the thingy above the rear axle, are there any more as the brakes still feel spongey ?.
Had a pig of a job getting one of the rear shockers off, the top collar on the old shocker was seized onto the mounting bolt. Had to burn out the rubber, cut the shocker off with an angle grinder then heat up the collar with a blowtorch till it was glowing red then got the mole grips on it :roll: :roll: :roll:

5 and a half hours now thats dedication. Pictures we want to see pics before and after pics.
The other nipple is on back of passenger side drum just above where the brake line goes in.

Yep, found it, brake pedal nice and firm now.
Piccys are before and after, still need to get tyres and arhes fitted.

Pic of what I had to do to get the rear N/S shocker off.
BTW Baz, what pressure do you put in your tyres ?.
