I'm bending new hardlines on my rear axle, which is on a stand, and i'm trying to remember where the factory lines were, or, where is a good place to put them.
My main concern is putting the hard lines where they won't be affected by springs, LCA's, etc, but now i'm noticing the e-brake return spring, is right above the banjo bolt on the caliper.... It actually looks like it'll interfere, is this ok? I can't remember what it looked like when I removed it, but i'm certain i've got the left caliper on the left side, right on right side, but....

Anyone have a picture of their rear e-brake spring area? I can snap a picture of what mine currently looks like if it helps.

This is factory rear discs.

Thanks!

 

for the iron caliper rear disc, the line came out the elbow towards the rear, then there is a bend inward and the forward to allow operation of the p/brk.
i will try to get a pic next time i have the wheel off (especially if you haven't figured it out by then)

 

well, the bolt head that holds the banjo block down seems to be in the way of the parking brake spring right now....
I'll snap a pic tonight and show, maybe i've got something on bass ackwards or something.

Hope those are clear enough. Is that right? Is something backwards? Maybe if someone has a picture of a rear caliper with e-brake assembly I can point out what I mean more clearly, but the banjo bolt and block are directly under the middle of the spring....??

 

well there one thing i do see wrong in the pic, the spring is installed incorrectly
it should be seated over the end of the lever circled in red

 

ooooohhhhhhhhh..... ok, thanks! I'll give that a shot and see if I can get on there.

 

I installed a nine bolt with these brakes over the holidays. The banjo bolts were tight against the spring but could be removed and installed with the spring in place with a little effort. Once you get the spring on the right perch you'll have more room. If you're still having trouble let me know and I can send you a photo.

I just got the recall kit in today so I'll be pulling them off this weekend anyway.
