ATTACHING THE LOWER BRACKET

Most late model vehicles have a small brake line hanger on the passenger side shock

bracket that is welded to the axle (g.12). Remove the bolt holding the wire brake line

bracket to the shock mount. Move line aside and attach the brake line bracket spacer (O)

to the axle using the existing M8 bolt removed. Attach the stock brake line bracket to the

brake line bracket spacer with the M8 bolt (P), washer (Q) and nut (R) provided. Tighten

both securely (g. 13).

1. Set the assembly on the axle and check for the following.

On some models with drum brakes: check to be sure that the lower bracket is not pinching

the brake line on the axle. If it is then, bend the tab holding the brake line away from the

axle housing (g. 14). Reposition the line and bend the tab back to hold the line in the new

position away from the lower bracket leg.

2. Position the lower bracket so that the outboard edge is between the leaf spring

U-bolts (g 15). Insert the U-bolt (F) provided in the outboard slot of the lower bracket

(g. 18).
