Route the pneumatic hose from
the compressor panel to the driver
side of the vehicle by following the
engine wiring harness. Use the
supplied corrugated split loom to
protect the hose from other engine
components.
51.
Route the provided pneumatic
hose down the transmission tunnel
on the driver’s side of the vehicle.
The hose should follow the factory
wiring harness.
NOTE: The fittings used in the
pneumatic system are of a quick
release type and the hose can be easily
removed by pushing in on the release
ring of the fitting and pulling the hose
out of the fitting.
52.
Raise the front of the vehicle
and support it with properly weight
rated safety stands, ramps or a
commercial hoist. Follow the
manufacturer’s safety precautions.
Take care to balance the vehicle to
prevent it from slipping or falling.
When using ramps, be sure the front
wheels are centered squarely on the
topsides; place transmission in park;
set the parking brake and place
blocks behind the rear wheels.
CAUTION: Do not work under any
vehicle supported only by a jack.
Severe injury may result.
53.
Route the pneumatic hose along
the driver’s side frame rail towards
the torsion bar cross member. Use
the supplied cable ties to secure the
hose to the electrical harness and/or
fuel lines.
54.
Route the air hose across the
rear facing side of the torsion bar
cross member.
55.
Using the supplied tubing
clamps and self threading 1 ⁄ 4 -20
bolts, mount the pneumatic hose to
the torsion bar cross member as
shown in
Figure 15.
NOTE: The self-threading bolts require
a
7 ⁄ 32 " pilot hole to be drilled for proper
thread formation.
NOTE: If the Banks Brake is being
installed in conjunction with a factory
exhaust system skip to
Step 61 of this
manual.
NOTE: If the vehicle has had the Banks
Monster exhaust system P/N 48628-
48630 (without a 4-bolt gasket flange)
previously installed, it will be
necessary to use the optional Banks
Flange Adapter Kit (P/N 55246) to
install the Banks Brake. Follow the
installation instructions provided with
the adapter kit.
56.
Remove the intermediate pipe
extension pipe from the exhaust
system by removing the four (4) bolts
from the 4-bolt exhaust flange and
loosening the band clamp immediately
behind the 4-bolt flange. Discard the
old gasket. NOTE: It may be necessary
to heat the end of the intermediate
pipe with a torch to allow the extension
pipe to be removed from the vehicle.
57.
On vehicles without a catalytic
converter: Install the Banks Brake
assembly onto the 4-bolt flange using
the supplied
7 ⁄ 16 -20 x 1 1 ⁄ 2 " bolts,
7 ⁄ 16 " Crimplock nuts and washers
(see Figure 6). Install the supplied
exhaust gasket between the Banks
Brake and the 4-bolt exhaust flange.
Snug the bolts up and adjust the
brake housing to align the two flange
halves with each other. Evenly torque
the flange bolts to 50 ft-lbs. (See
Figure 16.)
