Hey guys,

I'm in the process of swapping out my proportion valve on my stang to a bigger one cuz i installed rear disk brakes. I got 2 of the 4 hard lines off the portion valve and the other two are stripped, i even used the tool for the lines. Anyone have any ideas on how I can get them off? I even tried to remove the line from the MC and the tool stripped that one to. Any ideas are appreciated.

Thank you

The lines are probably metric, and you used and inch size wrench. Looks like vise grip time...

Yes, vice grip time. I had to use them when changing my MC. But why are you undoing the stock PV? If you have disc brakes on a Fox, you really want an adjustable one. You just gut the stock one and put the adjustable one in place of the coupling on the passenger side firewall. That way you can dial in the exact proportioning you need. See Matt's website for the PV info: http://svo73mm.cjb.net
Or I think he mentioned replacing the stock guts with the SN95 guts as a less efficient alternative.

Good luck!
