Another "Big" Brake Question

Time for brakes so I figure it's time for Tundra upgrade. Getting ready to order the parts and I seem to remember discussion about conversion brake lines leaking/ not seating well. Searched but haven't found the thread. Is the leak common with a particular supplier/brand of line? Anyone know of this? Thanks.

 

A subscriber on my channel said the Wheelers Brake Line Upgrade Kit is a good way to go. Here's a video that might help you with the upgrade.

Wheeler's kit is great!

 

I used Wheeler's brake lines also when I did the Tundra Upgrade. Worked perfectly!

 

Upgrading to stainless steel brake lines like the wheeler's will make an improvement in braking as well - my ss lines on my 08 made a huge difference in how firm the pedal feels.

 

If your banjo bolts bottom out before the line is tight and quits leaking. You'll have to drill the bolts out a little. (This is when using original hose and banjo bolts)

 

If you have a rattle noise from pads. Try 2 anti rattle clips on each side. If you still have a noise. Contact me.

 

i used the wheelers kit also, no issues here

 

Did the wheelers kit have the flared end instead of the banjo?

 

Iirc it has the correct sized banjo bolts.

 

Oh. Actually to be correct it should have the 2 steel hoses and brackets..... then the brake line. Like in Timmah's video.

 

where do you find these wheeler brake hoses

 

Wheeler's Off Road

Thanks all. I was planning on going with Wheelers lines but wanted to check on what I'd heard.

just took a pic of the package.

 

What? Wheeler's!

 

Thank god for my tundra calipers. Just had a brand new Cadillac do a California roll at a stop sign right in front of me. Managed to stop my truck inches before crawling over his hood.
