|  Stainless steel braided brake lines I spent the day finishing my install of a new suspension and brakes, and everything went smoothly until I looked at the brake lines.. How do these bolt up? |

|  Spindle nut... You should be able to remove the spindle nut with your fingers. It should be held on by a cotter pin and then a nut cover. Just behind that is your wheel bearing.

| No, I've already removed the old rotor and installed a new one with nicely packed bearings and what not. Although the nut was only finger tight when I loosened it, I'd prefer to have it torqued to the specific 25ft/lbs, backed half off, then to 10-15ft/lbs (According to the Hayes manual). Here's another pic of the braided line... |

| I will have to go look at my brakes to see exactly where the line bolts up, but... The brake line normally bolts up using banjo bolts. A bolt that has feed lines drilled into it to allow brake fluid to pass through the bolt. The fitting you are looking at in the pic on the caliper is for bleeding the brakes. I think there is another hole on the back of the caliper where the line should bolt up. I also recall copper washers used to seal it also. Hope that helps. |

| I've installed braided lines on our stang. You should've received a bolt and two copper washers with our braided brake line kit. The bolt goes through the center of brake line and copper washers goes on both sides of the brake line if I remember correctly. Got ours brake upgrades from MaximuimMotorSports and everything was there including instructions. |

| No copper washers or banjo bolts were included, so I'll just have to buy those separately.. However, I did notice that hole on the back of the caliper, and figured it was for bleeding.. Anyways, thanks for the responses! |

| hey Mustang_289 are you pleased with the maximum motorsports brake kit? Is that the hawk kit that comes with the braided lines, pads and shoes? I have been thinking of using that when i need new brakes.  Later

| It is the hawk kit - I'm pleased with the kit - full instructions and all the parts including banjo bolt and washers; but I gotta tell you we don't have anything to compare it against. You see, my son and I got this 88GT in pieces that we're putting back together. We needed to work on the brakes so we invested a little extra in the MMS kit. Everything that I've read and heard is this kit provides better stopping power than stock brakes. Over time we're thinking about converting to 5-lug and disc brakes all around - possibly with 13" in the front. |
