Re: 6 lug brake rotor and braided line questions

Ok. Worked on the truck today.

The back (long) hose seemed to work but the hose running from front to back of truck on passenger framerail appeared to be leaking and was rusty and I stripped it. Hopefully oriellys carries 8ft tubing. other than that seemed to go good.

Noticed my gas tank to hard line rubber hose was cracked and leaking (THATS why I get crappy mileage lol) WILL BE REPLACED TOMOROW.

Was gonna start on the front and looked at the lines Ive got now and the braided ones and there NOT the same!!

where it mounts to the caliper on the 71 rubber line was a square with probablky a banjo bolt going thru it. Mine didnt have the square and a hole for banjo bolt?!?!?!!?!?!?

I think they sent me braided hoses for a drum drum truck, thats what It said on the reciept (as posted above). The hose they sent me was like 4" shorter than my rubber hose I currently have...

GRRRR.....trucks going to be in the garage for awhile now.
