Those snipped brake line caliper nuts are on there good. I had to get a new caliper hose because I busted it trying to get it out! Just a word of caution to those doing this project

I got REAL lucky.


A far as the brake line nut, I put mine in a vice & used vise grips on the nut.

I will.


Side note:
I am also thinking about offering WJ front knuckles & Akebono calipers used in the WJ brake upgrade on the TJ, ZJ, & XJ Dana 30.The Akebono calipers were only offered on the WJ for the '03 & '04 models. They are somewhat hard to come by in the JY's.

I'll be honest, this is not as easy a swap as the rear disc's but many people notice a vast improvement over the stock braking system.

The kit will include driver, passenger knuckles, calipers, mounts & bolts for calipers . You would need to source the remaining parts- rotors, spacers, brake lines, & whatever else you need- plus you'll need parts to convert your steering over. I highly suggest you familiarize yourself with the process involved for install.

I would like to see if anyone is interested. The price would be $200 shipped to anywhere in the lower 48.
