If there's anyway that I can ever help you with a tip, well, that's great, as my knowledge is so limited compared to all you guys.

But, yeah, the job is very simple. And I think my lowers were the originals with 131,000 miles on them, they did not have zerk grease fittings at the bottom, and they were 19mm nuts and bolts as spec-ed from Toyota. The pickle fork method didn't need much pressure or banging to free them up. And there was ample clearance. I think if you damaged a brake line you're either very clumsy, have very bad hand eye coordination or almost no mechanical skill. I don't really know how you could screw up anything if you are paying attention and bring some basic skills to the table.
