With the nut revealed you take your massive wrench to grab that nut and unthread it:


Is said massive wrench custom laser cut out of steel plate, for the occasion?

You don't need style when you've got strength!

For sure that is critical to replace, when you lose hydraulic pressure you completely lose brakes.

Ah yes that seems safe. Great thread

Your work is the stuff of legends and I am so drat excited for this.

That being said, is there any way we could convince you to possibly take this build in a slightly different direction?

After pumping the brake pedal until my leg was dead only one of the lights came on. The light turns on when the test button is pressed and I manually grounded the sensor to confirm the wiring was ok. So I guess I need to add rebuilding or replacing the hydraulic pressure sensor to the todo list. For sure that is critical to replace, when you lose hydraulic pressure you completely lose brakes.

My 44 y.o landrover has a brake failure valve in the brake circuit (its a rod with seals on that is supposed to move and close off one circuit in the case of an issues). I had a brake line failure last year and it didn't work and i lost all brakes rather than keeping half of them which would have been less scary.
Turns out it was just stuffed full of crud so a £5 set of o rings and a clean up and it was good again.
I would strip every hydraulic pressure valve; and the shuttle/failure valve if it also has one and clean them up and fully test them.

Yeah, mine is still single circuit. I should probably do something about that.
