Default How to remove rear brake hose on 99 cavalier

Hello, I need to replace my rear right brake hose. I am having issues removing the hose from the bracket (that mounts to the frame) on the side that goes to the master cylinder. I removed the flare nut so the metal line is disconnected, and removed the metal clip but cannot figure out how to get the hose out of the bracket??

Try these steps:

Locate the brake proportioning valve under the hood. On a Cavalier, it is located on the fender, adjacent to the firewall. You can identify it by the four brake lines connected to it. These go to the four wheels.

Check for leaks if no fluid is visible. Slide the pan under the car, directly beneath the brake proportioning valve. Unscrew each tube nut on the valve to loosen them up. Look to see if any of the brake fluid has leaked into the pan. If there is brake fluid present, then the valve is distributing the fluid normally.

Remove all four of the brake lines attached to the brake proportionate valve. Remove the brake proportionate valve by unscrewing the two bolts in the back of the valve holding it in place. Install the new valve exactly as the old one was in place. Make sure the brake lines all attach to the same locations as on the previous valve.

Drive the car around your block or to the end of the driveway to test that you attached the brake proportionate valve properly. If problems still continue, take the Cavalier to a professional mechanic.
