4.5 RE lift I'm using RC extended SS brake lines. if I point them Up they rest against the bleeder. If I point them back like the stock lines pointed then they want to bow which brings them close to the tire.





is that resting against it in too bad of a way? I can see it being a slight PITA when bleeding. if I point them back the only thing I can think of is to find some sort of spring with a rubberized gromet on the hook to put tension on the line. I feel uncomfortable risking my brakes so I thought I'd ask rather than doing something I may regret

 

Those calipers are on the wrong side. Bleeder should be at the bottom

 

Are you ****ing kidding me?

 

Use a zip tie. Just leave the zip tie loose enough to allow the brake line to move freely with the caliper.

 

Bleeder go up.

 

I'm hoping that dude was kidding.

 

When you put the bleeders down you get less air. less air is better right?

LOL

 

I started laughing so hard at that... in all fairness I remember older ones had different calipers with the bleeders located differently.

I think I have them lined out. there is actually no other way for them to bolt on unless I grind down the lip on the calipers which I refuse to do. I have them tweaked to where it's not resting right against the bleeder but it is a littler closer than I'd like. Only because bleeding will be a PITA.

 

Can you flip the block over so that the slight angle that the line comes out of the block points slightly toward the caliper instead of away from it?
Or would the line be too close to rubbing on the wheel?

 

it still had a tilt which kept it close to the bleeder valve. I actually can't turn it to face towards the rear either because of the lip on the caliper. I managed to get it bolted in with maybe 2mm of clearance from the bleeder. It shouldn't be a problem rubbing but it's going to be harder to bleed it for sure. I'll just live with it for now.
