When you remove the brake line from the M/C that relieves the pressure and the brake(s) unlock just as you would normally release the pedal. I would recommend replacing both lines just due to age and the fact that both are too important and too inexpensive to not cover your butt in situations such as this. You are probably looking at $20 a side give or take at Oreilly, AZ, etc.

    I will be back down in TX by the 20th or so. Send me a PM and I will give you my contact information. You can stop by my ole shop in Hutto and I can help you out if needed. Good Luck!

    It's easier and/or cheaper to do the brake line first. Just be sure and get the correct one as they are different between the 7.5" and 8.8" rear ends.
