9. ABS MODULE RELOCATION
(1999-2000 Model vehicles only, all others
proceed with step 10.)
A. Attach the ABS module to the supplied brack-
et using two of the factory isolator mounts.
Attach the ABS module ground wire under
one of the nuts.
B. Install the supplied grommet into the supplied
ABS support strap.
C. Install the strap over the remaining pin on the
ABS module and bolt it to the ABS bracket
using the supplied hardware.
D. Use the factory hardware to install the
assembly in the original location. Some of the
holes are slotted, so before tightening, posi-
tion the ABS module so that the lowest brake
line connector exits immediately above the
steering rack. (See Fig. 9-a.)
E. The brake lines must now be carefully bent
by hand to connect out to their original loca-
tion on the ABS module. Bend each line and
loosely attach to the ABS module in the order
shown in Figs. 9-b.
F. With all of the lines loosely connected, estab-
lish the order in which to tighten them based
on the tools available. It may be necessary to
disconnect a couple of lines to provide
access to the hard to reach locations. (See
Fig. 9-d for recommended tools.)
G. Attach the ABS module plug and verify that
the wires are secured away from any moving
parts
NOTE: The following steps reposition the ABS module upside down
so that there will be room for the supercharger. It is very
important to spend as much time as necessary to ensure
that the brake lines are sound (not kinked or bent repeated-
ly), routed away from moving parts, and protected from abra-
sion wherever they touch non-moving parts or each other.
NOTE: When connecting the line to “MCI", the hard line
should be rotated where it connects to the braided
line to avoid twisting and damaging the braided line.
Carefully hold the crimp ferrule with pliers and rotate
the hard line by hand to the desired angle.
NOTE: A properly bent brake line will thread easily into the
ABS module. If a line does not thread in easily by
hand, it is not lined up properly. Do not force it.
STEP 5: BEND
AND LOOSELY
ATTACH “LF”
LINE
STEP 6: BEND AND
LOOSELY ATTACH
“RF” LINE. TIGHTEN
THE LINES INSTALLED
IN STEPS 3-6 IN
SEQUENCE
STEP 1: BEND THE
CORRECT LINE
FROM MASTER
CYLINDER SO THAT IT
CONNECTS EASILY TO
MC2 (TEMPORARILY
DISCONNECT)
STEP 2: BEND THE
CORRECT LINE FROM
MASTER CYLINDER
SO THAT IT CONNECTS
EASILY TO MC2
(TEMPORARILY
DISCONNECT)
STEP 4: BEND AND
LOOSELY ATTACH
“RR” LINE
STEP 3: BEND AND
LOOSELY ATTACH
“LR” LINE
STEP 7: ATTACH AND
TIGHTEN THE LINES FROM
