Part Number: 10.611.208K THRU 10.698.212K
Description: SPORTTUNED STAINLESS STEEL BRAIDED BRAKE LINES
Procedure:
1. Jack up the car and support it on jack stands.
2. Starting with the front brake lines, remove the standard brake hoses using an open-ring
spanner wrench (Autotech # 99.012.009). The banjo bolt in the caliper uses an 11mm hex.
Note: it may be necessary to use a little penetrating oil on the original hard line connec-
tions. Be sure to keep the retaining spring used at the female end of the hose for re-use
with the Autotech hose.
Installation Tip: To avoid rounding the flats on the VW brake fittings, Autotech recom-
mends using an open-ring spanner wrench rather than a normal open end wrench. The
shape of the tool should resemble this.
3. Remove the hollow bolt from the original banjo fitting for re-use. The hollow bolt is held
to the banjo fitting with two staked copper crush washers. The bolt can be pressed out
of the washers and banjo fitting in a vise using a 15mm or larger 1/2 inch drive socket
for a receiver, as shown below. We supply new copper washers to replace the originals
that will be destroyed during this process.
4. Using a new M10 copper washer on each side of the banjo fitting, attach the Autotech
brake line to the caliper. Make sure to align the notch on the end of the banjo fitting
with the locating pin in the caliper if your car has one. Tighten the bolt to 35 Nm
(26 ft lbs). Make sure that the brake line does not rub against any other metal objects
as the braid will gradually grind through whatever it is touching.
