No. the brake lines to the wheels are attached to the chassis. There's two little brakes lines between the body and the chassis under the master cylinder. Undo the bolts that hold these to the inner guard, complete the BL, then re drill the holes and remount the bracket in its new position.

Steve.

PS this is true for a leaf sierra. From memory, coil sierras have the lines on the inner guards so longer brake lines might be required. Might be wrong though, a while since I played with a coiler.

i reckon that sierras need longer front lines when they have a 50mm spring lift. :wink:

i have seen a few get very tight when flexing.
