I was totally gonna say the same thing. Before I even read the comments bro; NEVER b stretchin' that brake line like that! "Shoestring" the caliper up to the strut and b easy with that rubber line. They TOO AS well, fail over time. Either get bloated, or collapse and wont allow fluid to travel, OR will allow the system to decompress when you need it the MOST! Also, comin from a mobile mechanic, please don't smack the CV shaft end coming from the wheel hub WITHOUT the nut. Do it WITH the nut on there. Doing so, until it gets loose or 'free' to where you can remove it from hub by hand, THEN remove the nut. You'll save the threads from gettin all f\'(ered up, and EXTREMELY difficult (Sometimes impossible depending on just how any 'smacks' you've gotta give that CV shaft to actually come out)to get the nut back on during reinstallation...
Can you do this without dropping the motor? I was just thinking about cutting the fender well with a grinder and leaving the motor where it is. It’s my car plus no wires so I don’t think it would affect anything later on. Any thoughts?

My 07 Impala is only going forward in manual 1 and 2 and it also moves in reverse, just not drive. Could my forward band be broken?
Do not do what he did and leave the weight of the wheel bearing and knuckle weight pulling on the brake line,thays a good way to pop your line.
