Front Brake Hose Interference - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just finished installing a ECE lowering kit on my 1977 Stepside. I went to reinstall the front brake hoses and found that they rub the bottom of the upper ball joint stud. I'll have to tweak the hard line piece that attaches to the caliper to get the hose away from the stud. Anybody run into this issue and if so, what was your fix? Thanks, Jim M

Very common problem.
Just tweak the hose.
No big deal.
