New Brake Lines (Body to Axle) (1 Viewer)

[Snead Hearn]

Thanks for comments on my lifting question.

A question has come up. I bought extended brake lines with my OME springs. MAF sent 4 lines. I must be stupid, but I see only 1 line going to the rear axle - on the passenger side. This doesn't really surprise me, but why did I get 2 long line for the back? Am I missing something? Secondly, the brake line attachement to the frame on the passenger side is really ugly (meaning I cannot see where the end of the brake line's nut is!) and hard to reach. Any suggestions for simplifying this swap?

I did a search - what I need to know is how to remove the line from the body side without removing the mount and destroying the whole hard line (maybe too late - ugh!)


This is a modification of a question I asked in my Leaf Spring Thread: https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=167009

3 of the 4 lines are for the front, 1 each front wheel, one frame to front axle, 1 frame down to rear axle.

Oh - Haven't hit the front yet!

That explains that. The front lift/lines are still on the garage floor. I suppose I should have looked before asking. Thanks!

If you provide us with the MAF part numbers we can tell you what brake hoses you have and where they go. At this point it is a guessing game. What is not making sense is the qty 4 when you say you only ordered front and rear axle to to frame hoses unless they want you to double them up to make two long hoses.

I'll look at the part numbers. I recall that the stickers on them just identified the long pair as RR and the short pair as FT.

Bigger issue for me is how to take apart with out destroying the hard lines. They look like they will NEVER come apart.

The lines came as a braided stainless brake line kit from MAF when I ordered the OME springs.
