Brief Description:  Remove and install brake lines

Removed the existing Nyflow 3/16'' brake line and replaced with new lines. I discovered that by looping some lockwire, heating it and inserting this into an open end of the tubing then squezzing the tubing to lock down on the wire I had an effective way of feeding the tubing through the access holes in the canard and wheel pod. After I had pulled through about 6 inches (150mm) of tubing to allow for the connection of the brake caliper hardware. I cut the lockwire end off to make a clean end. I then used painters blue tape to seal the open end of the tubing and along the canard trailing edge to secure the free brake line until I have the brake system installed and tested. I was glad for Michaels help as he made some good suggestions and kept me sane during some of the more frustrating episodes.
