How *does* one replace the rear brake hoses on an IRS TR (4A, 250 or 6)? 
The fitting on the end that's on the trailing arm is easy. The fitting
on the end that's on the frame seems impossible -- I don't see any way
to get a normal wrench on any of the fittings.

Hints? Suggestions? Ideas? Guesses? The rear hoses seem to bein fine shape,
but I replaced the front ones (which needed it badly), and wanted to be
complete.

I'm also curious about the mounting of the rear slave cylinders (hi Scott).
The mounting kit comes with three little plates, one of which is called
the "distance piece" and is smaller than the other two. It seems to be 
impossible to fit. Is it?

P.S. The rest of the rebuild seems to have gone fine. No leaks. Needs to
be bled again, but the current unbled pressure is better than what I had
before. And bleeding the clutch let me adjust the slave pushrod fork
properly, so I now have a surprisingly easy to operate clutch ... 
Maybe sometime soon I'll have a handbrake that works, too! It works now,
but the right cable refuses to retract, so it just keeps on working.
