That hydraulic flaring tool is the same one that I have. It works great.

That is the screw I have raised the body 1/2-3/4" to remove. It also gives a little "wiggle" room to maneuver the line around. Amazing what less than an inch of clearance can do to make a job go better.

Update on things.......got a call from Karp's this afternoon after 8 weeks and the brake distribution valve is not rebuildable, they can't get the front half apart, which explains why I could not get fluid to the front calipers. Sooooooo if anyone out there has a cast iron distribution valve for a March 72 Kansas built Chevelle with front discs I am interested....looks like the one pictured below. I will also post in the wanted section.

I had a similar looking "BENDIX" brake valve rebuilt for my brother's 73 Z28.
The company had never done the style before SO I sent 2 valves ONE for them to experiment with and the original from the car. Told them I didn't care what they did to the additional valve, I didn't get the "experimental valve returned but did get the original rebuilt for about $100. I know of at least one other Nasty Z28 board member who also had their vavle rebuilt by Old Auto Restorations. Old Auto Restorations James Ament 308 Cambridge Lane Lititz, PA 17543

Big shout out to Joe Farrow (72convSS454) - he found a valve and sent it to me no charge. Thank you very much Joe! Much appreciated.
Off to the rebuilder's in hopes we can make this one work.
