Re: [Peugeot-L] front brake line securing clip trick

Ken, make sure everything is clean; and make sure you have the junction where the flexible line screws into the steel line pulled up all the way into the hole so that the groove is completely unblocked. On most of those strut brackets, the hole is a hex shape so that you have to orient that fitting a certain way. Then you
start the clip in the slot squarely and evenly, and then I just bop it real good with the handle of a fairly big beat-up screwdriver; but you could use a hammer or anything good for tapping it till it's home. You have to make sure it's fairly straight and you start it squarely, and it usually won't give you any problems.
