    He did remove the brake actuator hoses and brake lines. Bleeding the brakes and new actuator is required.

    Yes, thanks! That was the issue. I wasn't logged in before because I just wanted to do a quick check. :oops:

    yeah....the reason for this thread was the NON removal of the inverter. the reason this part is notable is because the inverter is 1) dangerous and 2) has like 30 bolts. not removing touching it is a big time-saver.

    its not a hard job but you kinda have to plan for it. don't plan on doing the rest of the day and GETTING THE BRAKE LINES took me much longer than on might think is necessary. Maybe I was too gentle but they have to be lined up straight (as noted in your video). Its not easy to do that thus why so many people screw it up.
