1) Bleed out as much brake fluid from the system as you can.
2) Remove the 14mm banjo bolt holding the brake line to the caliper.

4) Remove the U-clip that holds the brake line to the strut assembly.

You can then remove the brake lines from the car.

If you notice on each line, there are 2 E-clips. You need to remove both, to reuse on the new Goodridge lines.

5) Place one of the E-clips in the place indicated by the blue arrow.

Install the other E-clip to the end of the line (opposite the banjo bolt).
6) Install the new line opposite of how you removed it.
