Rear Brake Hard Line Reroute

[paychex.308]

Okay, so I have searched and could not find what I am looking for. I was wondering if anyone has rerouted the rear brake hard line into the inside of the frame instead of the stupid outside ( such a stupid design! ) I guess I can just carefully bend it and run it where I wish. Just hoping there was a wrote up or something that I may have missed.

Thanks!

Yep. Just bent mine up and out of the way...AFTER my sway bar end link bolt grabbed ahold of the line and bent it to the point of almost failure.

I'll take a pic in a bit.

We have ours re-routed and most people running coil overs do too. You just need to carefully bend it as you seemed to have figured out. With coil overs, you can re-route it close to the spring perch.

Ya I hit mine this weekend and wanted to get it out of the way BEFORE I tear it off...

Thanks.....

Ya... guess I need to take my "patience pill" in the morning...

Any pics would be great!

Here you go.


Passenger side.


Drivers side. That straight line scratched into the frame is from the sway bar bolt.

Edit: You can see the factory clip in the lower pic and see how far I rerouted them up.

Kewl thanks! I was thinking about straitening them out to run them on the inside of the frame. Guess they just need to be out of the way... once again, what a dumb place to put them!

Should this work? Anyone see any issues with the route a ran this? It goes through the frame but not really bolted to anything..

Thanks

Was a tad bit nervous about line just dropped down the frame so I added these 7/8" square plugs all "customed" up with a hole in the middle. Should work me thinks...

Just ran mine this evening through. Drilled and bolted up where tab can be seen.

I wouldn't say I rerouted my hardline but I made some major brake line mods.
