D.O.T. BRAKELINE INSTALLATION
-Brakelines may be used on or off-road-
Brake hose installation should be done by a profes-
sional mechanic. Read instructions before starting and
follow each step completely. Bleeding the brake sys-
tem should be done by two professional mechanics.
1. The new hose may or may not be an exact replica
of the factory line, but the fittings are the same unless
other wise stated. (See Below)
2. Remove the stock hose by using a line wrench to
avoid rounding the corners. Be sure all crush
washers are removed fro their mating surfaces and
cleaned. Inspect crush washers and replace if needed.
3. Clean all surfaces on which the brake lines will be
attached to assure a clean fit.
4. Be sure brake line fittings are tight before installing.
We recommend using loc-tite on all fittings for a
secure leak free connection.
5. The amount of lift on the vehicle will determine if the
line is too short or long. The hoses may require
"tiewrapping" to a shock absorber, coil spring, vent
hose or other suitable place, to prevent contact from
moving objects such as tires, wheels, etc. Use the tie
strap included to secure each line as necessary.
BLEEDING THE BRAKE SYSTEM:
A) Fill master cylinder with D.O.T. approved brake
fluid.
B) Pump the brake pedal and hold down. While the
pedal is down, open the bleeder nut to release air out
of the system. Close or tighten nut, then let pedal up
and re-pump. Continue the pumping/bleeding process
until fluid is being excreted out of the bleeder nut
and/or until no air is being expelled.
C) Bleed each line and make sure your master cylin-
der is full of brake fluid after each bleeding process.
D) The brake pedal will not "pump up" or have exces-
sive down-travel if all the air is out of the system.
F) It is the customer's responsibility to check brake line
for any leaks, abrasion, proper clearances, and brake
line fittings after the first 100 miles and after every
offroad activity.
