As reported earlier, I didn’t like the twisted brake lines at the FR and FL brake callipers so removed the fitting and re-installed them properly.




When I removed the brake line at the FL side, I noticed that it had wear marking at this section.
It was probably scratching against the wheel/tyre when the steering wheel were turned or possibly larger wheel/tyre installed in the past so not safe.

Unfortunately, when the aftermarket dampers were installed, they were not done in the orientation that the OEM brake hose bracket can be installed and on top of this, the brake lines that were installed were not the NSXCB spec custom made Goodridge ones that they only had one line locator at the front side any way.




For pre-caution, used the recess on the damper body to create temporary measure to prevent further damage to the line.
Ideally, the damper should be installed in the correct orientation and either fit the OEM bracket or aftermarket one and replace the brake line with the NSXCB spec.




At the rear calliper, one of the big task is to clean the remaining debris inside the parking brake mechanism.
There were 100s of shot blast medium left inside there and you just need to use your finger to clean them out.
Time consuming but has to be done as it could cause serious issue later.




As seen at the front, one of the lower slider pin was too rusty at the boot end so decided to replace it.
