FRONT REMOVAL
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and set the parking brake. This installation can be done with the vehicle on the ground. Turn the tires to gain better access to brake components.
2. Remove the shocks from the axle using a 13mm. Remove the ABS lines at the frame if equipped. Break loose the hard line from the soft brake line with a 10mm before removing the frame bracket with a T40 torx.
Remove the factory lines from the caliper with a 9/16”. Save the banjo bolt, discard the old washers.
FRONT INSTALLATION
Mount the new L bracket to the frame with the original torx bolt.
Insert the new line through the bracket and install the clip. Hand tighten the hard line into the new line.
Install one of the copper washers on each side of the banjo fitting and reuse the origional banjo bolt.
Orient the brake line as shown and torque the banjo bolt to 23 ft-lbs.
Make sure the line will not snag on any components when the suspension moves and when the tire turns. Then torque the hard line to 12 ft-lbs. If you are only installing the front, bleed the brakes using standard bleeding procedures.
REAR REMOVAL

10. Use a 10mm end wrench and break loose the brake line before removing the frame bracket with a T40 torx.
