When I did mine, I removed the front tire and removed a cover inside the wheel well. I then removed most of the mountings for the hard line leading to the back of the car under the body. This way, I could drop the hard line down after loosening the clamps and place the new rubber hose on. I opened up the access hole a little bit more to make it easier to get the clamps through. I took a couple of hours to figure out the right way. I didn't remove the master cyl. as some people did. Make sure you buy the high temp hose when you replace it. One has green lettering and one has blue. Can't remember which is which, but the high temp stuff is about $1/inch and is sold in 1 meter pieces by dealer. Don't want to be going back in there any time soon.

Good luck
