Steel Braided Brake Lines

Postby Zen_master » Sat Mar 29, 2014 8:54 pm

Anyone installed this mod yet? If I recall correctly there is a maintenance schedule in the owner's manual stating to change the brake fluid at a certain interval. Seems might as well do this for the low cost.

Thoughts?

I'll be ordering these lines - without any extensions. Main concern is matching the OEM length. Cannot find anyone to verify.

I have Techna-Fit lines on my Pathfinder, and have been happy with them. They are stock length.

Got these on today and all went well. This is a universal kit for a range of vehicles.

There are 2 longer lines and 2 shorter lines in the kit. The longer ones are for the front and the shorter for the rear. Lengths were close to oem, but not exact...just a bit longer.

The only main concern I have is that they do not have the anti-turn nipple on the banjo like the OEM.

Ok apparently I fibbed.

All was good until I torqued the bolts. The RR snapped set at 15 ft/lbs. I'll have to contact them tomorrow.

Went out and have the dreaded soft pedal. Can't even squeal the tires or engage ABS.

When the car is off, the pedal is hard as expected.

Bled the corners multiple times with no air bubbles. So, guessing it's a master cylinder.
