Installation

 4. POST-INSTALLATION

 1. REMOVE ORIGINAL BRAKE HOSES

 Disconnect the hard metal brake tube from the

original rubber brake hose that is attached to
vehicle chassis. HINT: Plug the metal tube to
prevent brake fluid from leaking.

 Remove the original brake hose mounting

bracket from chassis and save original bolt.

 Disconnect the original rubber brake hose from

the caliper. Discard both copper washers, but
retain the original bolt.

 2. INSTALL NEW HD EXTENDED

BRAKE LINES

 Attach gold end of HD Extended Brake Line (A)

to caliper with new Copper Washers (B), and
insert the original bolt.

HINT: Install with new copper washers as
indicated above. Brake line will only install with
the “step” engaged on protruding portion of
caliper. This prevents the brake line from
rotating and ensures it will not contact the tire.

 Using a torque wrench, tighten the original bolt

to 23 ft-lbs.

 Position the new brake line Mounting Bracket

(C) in original location on chassis. HINT: On

ABS equipped vehicles, make sure the
mounting bracket for the ABS sensor wire also
remains in the original location.

 Install new Mounting Bracket (C) to chassis

using the original brake hose mounting bolt.

 Insert silver end of HD Extended Brake Line (A)

into Mounting Bracket (C) and secure with the
supplied Retainer Clip (D).

 Attach the original hard metal brake tube to

silver end of HD Extended Brake Line (A) and
tighten securely.

 Check brake lines to ensure they do not

interfere with tires or any moving parts. Brake
lines should also be checked at maximum
suspension extension (droop) to ensure length
is sufficient. HINT: On vehicles lifted less than

4.0”, it may be necessary to secure the brake
line away from any other components.

 Check all hardware to ensure it has been

correctly installed and tightened to factory
torque specifications.

Maintenance

Check torque specifications as part of regular vehicle
maintenance schedule.
