IML: '62 Brake Distribution Block removal success

[Joe Strickland <jwstrick426@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To the Group;

Sorry, false alarm!  After looking closer at the P/N 2123 218 front 
brake distribution block using better lighting, I could see that as I 
was trying to turn the fittings the entire block was moving and the 
tubing wrench was not applying full force.  I used a straight and a 
crooked end crow bar to stabilize the block while I applied force to the 
wrench either with a cheater pipe on the end of the wrench or the second 
crow bar to exert more force.  I managed to break loose every fitting.  
Removing each line was relatively easy then.  The front distribution 
block has no Chrysler part number stamped on it.  I don't know if any of 
them ever did.  It is possible that it may have had an ink or paint 
stamped part number that came off due to exposure to petroleum products 
over the years.  Here is a description of the part looking down on the 
block from top to bottom:

Top fitting;  7/16", line to/from master cylinder
Second fitting to the right;  3/8", line to rear axle
Third fitting to the right;  3/8", line to left front wheel
Front fitting to left;  3/8", line to right front wheel

Now I will move on to the rear axle block, P/N 2070 311.  I expect it 
will be easier to deal with than the distribution block at the front of 
the car.  I will take the left front wheel line to a friend soon to see 
if we can make a new line from the OEM type 3/16" steel tubing I bought 
a while back.
