    Tce brake lines running on Zack's BBK

    Does anyone have a pic of how you placed the brake lines on the zack's big brake kit? My lines rub the tires when the wheel is turned all the way (both sides). Sure I can get in there and fiddle with it until it works but I'd rather do it right the second time (since I screwed it up the first time).

    Btw, of all the things if done for this car (4:10, tune, and k&n intake), this has been my favorite. The pedal is so much more firm. The braking might be better....I had worn the old pads to the metal so anything would be better. It looks so much better. Well worth the money and effort.

    Your probably going to have to fiddle with them.

    So it would seem. I like the idea of a "bungee" type cord that pulls the hose away from the tire.
    What are the chance that I will have to bleed the brakes again? It's not a big deal.

    I used one of these on a rear tce line that kept curling towards the tire. You have to "clock" them in the right position before tightening down for best results of line staying looped out of the way. If you break the seal of the brake fitting then yes, air will get in and you will have to re-bleed that line

    No it's not..

    Loosen nut, turn wheel, clock the line, tighten. Then check with wheel turned other direction. If you can count past potato you can certainly adjust brake lines.

    This is my plan. I'm going to see if I can do it without jacking the car up. If I have to lift it then I'll put it on stands but keep the tires on. I thought I clocked them right but I didn't take into consideration the width of the tire. I'll do better this time.
