need help with 86 calipers

[anastasios]

hey guys i was wondering if the 71 front brake line screws into the 86 calipers, mine are being a bitch and deciding not to go in, also is it totally necessary to use the ra40 tierods and rack ends when using ra40 steering arms on the 71

1 - dont know

2- dont know

3 - no not totally, but a good idea, also a good idea to get ne tie rod ends

[anastasios]

yep ive got new ra40 tie rod ends waitin to go in, but for some reason the brake line doesnt want to go onto the caliper

[biggo]

is the caliper mounted?

i had to take the cailper off to fit the lines in as they are really deep

[anastasios]

yep the calipers off but the line is just not screwing in
