My 1978 244 has been leaking brake fluid out of the junction box. It's that metal box mounted far below the MC that all the metal brake lines run in and out of. There's also an electrical connection on it for the brake failure light. The fluid is coming out around the center mounting bolt, not any of the metal lines themselves. I think there's been some kind of internal failure.

I have a new junction box on order. Replacement looks fairly straightforward, but neither Haynes nor even Bentley discuss how to replace this box. IPD says "leave this to the pros" in their catalog (and don't even sell the part). Frankly, though, where I live (middle of nowhere), I'm not sure I trust any "pros" to bleed the system as well as I can. Think the guys at the local shop know the Volvo caliper bleed screw sequence?

Anyone out there done this job? Any tips or encouragement? It looks really tight, disconnecting all those metal brake lines from such a small box. I'd appreciate the collective wisdom of the real pros...the guys on the Brickboard.
