The hard part is getting the line connected at the rear end. There's
a Tee there that VW installed before they dropped the body onto the
pan. This job would be pretty easy if the body wasn't in the way.
And IF you have an early car, that rear line section has to pass thru 2
layers of steel (with a grommet on each layer, like my 64 has). The later cars
only have 1 layer to pass thru, but it's still quite difficult getting to
the "T" back there as you're limited on working space. I sometimes unbolt
the "T" from it's tab, just to make things a little easier. ;-) Then once
the line is attached tight to it, I'll bolt it back on. This is just
something I learned from doing a couple of them over the years.
