Is it easy to remove the front brake lines on a 400ex and what is the easiest process of doing this, thanks???

It's really easy. I recommend a line wrench so you don't strip the banjo bolts. I also used a coffee can to catch the fluid once I removed the bolts. I did the caliper side fiorst so I could drain the lines before I removed them at the master.

Make sure you use a good socket on the bolt that holds the splitter. I didn't get a good grip on it and rounded off the corners:rolleyes: Ended up cutting it off.

Six point box end wrenches. They are the way to go, IMO if you don't have a set, get 'em! Don't use a 12 point socket or wrench to break loose the difficult bolts.
