Hello,

You may need to remove the brake line or gently bend it out of the way. Here is a guide that will help you with the job.

You will need to jack the car up

Here are diagrams that will help you get the job done on your car (below)

Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers, Ken
