ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Locate the brake hose coming out of a hole in the inside rear of the
right side frame near the axle position. Route the hose over to the
axle and insert it into the larger outer hole in the brake hose mount-
ing bracket. Route it down to the caliper where it will be attached
in the brass block.
Hand-tighten the fitting on the end of the frame brake hose to the
side fitting of the brake caliber.
Fit the axle brake hose to the bottom fitting on the brake caliber.
Use a wrench to tighten 1/4 turn. Repeat on other side of axle.
Bleed system. If the connection leaks, tighten only enough to stop
the leak.
Over-tightening will permanently damage the internal components
of the brass fitting causing the fitting to leak.
Remove the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right
brake caliper. Thread the brake hose just routed down from the
side frame into the port where the brass plug was just removed.
Tighten.
Place the rubber grommet around the brake hose and insert it
into the hole in the brake hose mounting bracket. The grommet
will protect the hose from abrasion as well as retain it from slid-
ing down while being towed. Enough slack should be left in the
brake hose from the hose mounting clamp and the axle to allow the
axle to move freely without the hose rubbing on the spring or any
other steel part. All additional hose above the brake hose mounting
clamp and the side frame hole can be pushed back into the side
frame for protection from the elements.
In the event that the axle position is at some distance from the hole
in the side frame where the brake hose is routed from, two addi-
tional hose mounting clamps and self-tapping screws are provided
to attach the brake hose to the inside of the side frame. Bend the
open end of the hose mounting clamps open far enough so the
hose can be slid inside the clamp. Once the hose is inside, bend
