The brake lines in this kit may appear different from original lines on
vehicle. The lines may have slightly different shapes and bends, but are
designed to be a direct replacement. Some original lines may use flexible hose
sections near the master cylinder and brake proportioning valve. The
replacement lines in this kit will use solid lines in lieu of metal flexible
hose sections. Image below shows replacement lines for flexible units (Fig.
B). It is recommended to hand-start all fittings into all mating components
before performing final tightening of all fittings.
The replacement brake lines may have additional large radius shipping bends
(Fig. A). Lines with additional shipping bends will have stickers on either
side of each shipping bend. Carefully straighten the section of line between
the stickers to remove shipping bend (Fig. A). Take care not to kink or damage
brake lines. If a brake line is kinked or damaged while removing shipping
bends, it must be repaired or replaced prior to installation.
Each line will have a tag with a part number; this tag also indicates the
location of line on the truck to help aid in installation.
Inspect all areas of line contact for any possibilities of chafing or rub-
through. Adjust or bend line configuration if needed to avoid areas of rub-
through. Consult service manual for brake system bleeding procedure and bleed
hydraulic brake system.
