That's the one thing that I am worrying about right now. I doubt the tube is a lot but it would be another pain to deal with.

I wasn't under the car when it happened, I was still jacking it up with the floor jack but it still scared the crap out of me! Since I am no longer going to the final SCCA race tomorrow, I will finish the brake install so I can at least be productive with my time. Hopefully the pick up is fine, the new can go on Tuesday and I can get the brakes bled and drive it again weds. Days like this is why I am glad I still have my old Jeep!

The tube is easy to replace. Only 2 bolts are holding it. How much is your pan pushed upward?
