ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION

Locate the rubber hose coming out of a hole in the inside

rear of the right side frame near the axle position. Route the

hose over to the axle and insert it into the larger outer hole

in the brake hose mounting bracket. Route it down to the

caliper where it will be attached in the brass block.

Remove the plastic plug from the port in the brass block on

the right brake caliper. Thread the brake hose just routed

down from the side frame into the port where the plastic plug

was just removed. Tighten.

Hand-tighten the tting on the end of the frame brake hose

to the side tting of the brake caliber.

Attach the axle brake hose to the bottom tting on the brake

caliber. Tighten all hose end ttings with a wrench. Tighten

1/4 turn once the ares are bottomed out. Repeat on other

(left) caliper.

If the connection leaks while bleeding, tighten only enough

to stop the leak.

Over-tightening will permanently damage the are of the

brass tting causing the tting to leak.

ATTACHING AXLE HOSE TO SPRING PLATE

It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle

be attached to the spring plate to eliminate the loops that are

formed in the hose when it is attached to the calipers. Doing

so will eliminate the possibility of the hose getting caught or

damaged while towing.

Locate one of the hose clamps. Spread open the clamp so

it can be slipped around the hose in the loop that is formed

under the spring as it is routed to the caliper. Once in posi-

tion, squeeze the clamp back together.

Raise the hose clamp and the loop up until the hose clamp

is on top of the spring bracket raising the loop up so it is on

the back side of the axle. Align the hole in the clamp with

the hole in the rear of the spring bracket between the two

U-bolts.

Place a No. 10 at washer on a No. 10 x 1” machine bolt.

Insert the bolt into the clamp, then down through the spring

bracket. Place on another No. 10 at washer and secure

with a No. 10 hex nut. Tighten.

Repeat this process on the other loop on the other end of

the axle.

FRAME BRAKE LINE

Place the rubber grommet around the brake hose and in-

sert it into the hole in the brake hose mounting bracket. The

grommet will protect the hose from abrasion as well as re-

tain it from sliding down while being towed. Enough slack

should be left in the brake hose from the hose mounting

clamp and the axle to allow the axle to move freely without

the hose rubbing on the spring or any other steel part. All

additional hose above the brake hose mounting clamp and

the side frame hole can be pushed back into the side frame

for protection from the elements.

In the event that the axle position is at some distance from

the hole in the side frame where the brake hose is routed

from, two additional hose mounting clamps and self-tapping

screws are provided to attach the brake hose to the inside

of the side frame. Bend the hose mounting clamps open far

enough so the hose can be slid inside the clamp. Once the

hose is inside, bend the clamps back shut so it forms around

the brake hose. Position the two clamps on the inside of the

side frame spaced so there is an equal distance between

the hole where the brake hose comes out of the side frame

and the brake hose mounting clamp. Using the self-tapping

screws, drill them into the side frame to secure the clamps in

place. Tighten until the screws are fully in. This will grip the

brake hose and keep it from moving.

All bleeding to the line is to be done through the bleeders on

the calipers.

Fill the actuator reservoir with brake uid and bleed the line

per the instructions in the brake manual.
