Brake help


Recommended Posts

to install that Dakota line "correctly" you have to drill out and retap the bolt hole that is currently holding your stock line/junction block to the tube. The Dakota line is a bit different in that it utilizes that bolt also as the vent (it's a hollow bolt). I drilled out the small stock vent hole and tapped it to the Dakota bolt thread size/pitch while I was building the axle on a bench and the axleshafts were out, so I was able to catch all the metal shavings inside the tube when I did it. I also shortened it a bit so it cleared the axleshaft inside the tube.

 

There are other methods to attach the junction block to the tube (zipties, band clamps, etc) if you don't want to bother doing all that, though.

just use the old bolt and a washer on the dakota line. done, finished.

 

also, I ALWAYS turn the dakota brake line to sit on the axle tube the way it was meant to...it has a little indent on the T section that allows it to sit flush.
