Front brake lines

About to order wheelers brake lines. Any tips or tricks on how to install these. I've got a motive bleeder for bleeding the brakes. Thanks.

 

Make sure you use wd 40 on the existing brake lines and get your self a good Flare wrench set. Dont buy from auto parts store because they are cheap and will strip your bolts.

If i were you I would start hitting the lines with wd40 until you get the brake lines, it will make it hell of lot easier to take off.

 

x2 on the flare wrenches! you will need them.

other than that, it's a very simple job. i have wheeler's front/rear brake lines and love 'em. fit like a dream and no leaks.

enjoy!

 

Awesome fellas, thank you. What did you use to minimize fluid drain from the old lines?

 

my process:
disconnect lower connection of brake line from caliper, place end in small tub or bucket. disconnect upper connection from the hardline and allow residual fluid to drain down into the bucket.

the hardline will leak a few drops, but if you have the new line handy, you can install it immediately after removing the old line and fluid loss will be negligible.

 

Also make sure you keep reservoir full so you do not get air in the system.

 

Also make sure you have the proper set of washers for the banjo bolt. You can probaly use the old ones so dont loose them and torque wrench that will do 22ft lbs. Make sure the masger clyinder resi doesnt bleed down. Dont for get to bleed the bypass valve in the rear. I did it last.

 

Thanks again.
