Step 1
Raise Vehicle, and R vehicle, and R vehicle, and Remove Wheels
A level, stable and clean surface, suitable for supporting the vehicle on jack-stands, should be used for the installation.
Warning: Never leave any vehicle support vehicle supported with only a jack. Always use jack-stands.
Break loose the lug nuts on both rear wheels before jacking up the car. For a rear kit installation, block the front wheels, and release the parking brake.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual to identify the correct location of the jack for raising the vehicle. Jack up the vehicle, and secure it on a pair of jack stands, again referring to the Owner’s Manual for jack location joints.
After securing the vehicle at a convenient height, remove the rear wheels.
Step 2
Disconnect Stock Brake Line rake Line
Place a drip tray or several rags directly below the inboard brake line connection. If the area around the brake line connection to the chassis is dirty, clean it using brake cleaner or an appropriate cleaning agent.
Loosen the hard line fitting from the stock brake line, using an 11mm flare wrench.
Remove the line-retaining spring clip from the bracket on the back of the lower control arm, using a flat-edge screwdriver or needle-nose pliers. Retain the spring clip for later use.
An alternate method is to remove the entire bracket from the back of the lower control arm, using a 10mm wrench or socket to remove the retaining bolt, leaving the spring clip and stock brake line attached. The clip and stock brake line can then be removed, and the new stainless brake line pre-installed, as described on page 19 of this manual, before returning the bracket to the vehicle.
Remove the hard line fitting, and place one of the rubber caps over the end of it, to control fluid loss during the installation.
