Teraflex Universal Brake Line Anchor Kit

TeraFlex Univeral Brake Line Anchor Kit

Part #: 1101255

The JK brake line anchor kit properly locates your front brake line for safe tire clearance during full suspension movement. The secure mounting eliminates unnecessary movement of the flexible brake line and ABS/wheel speed sensor. A stainless steel anchor can be bent and positioned for specific clearance and location. The molded rubber securely and safely retains the brake line and also includes a recessed channel for the wheel speed sensor wire. The kit is easily installed by utilizing the lower shock mount bolt.

Additional Parts:

Tools Needed:
18mm Socket
18mm Combo Wrench
Diagonal cutters
Large flat tip screwdriver

 

The Parts: (Two anchors and some zip ties)
 
Installation:
1. Turn the wheel on the side that you are working on out, so you have room to access the lower bolt for the shock.
2. If you haven't already, you will need to zip tie the ABS line to the brake lines. Most of us would have done this when we installed new longer front brake lines, or just removed the brake line from the factory bracket on the 2011+ models.

3. There are a couple of ways to mount the Brake Line Anchor. Both of them require you to remove at least the nut from the lower shock mount. Remove the nut from the lower shock bolt using a 18mm socket and 18mm combo wrench.

The first way to mount the Brake Line Anchor is between the nut and the shock mount. The other way in case you have short lines, or they are stiff is to remove the bolt all the way (you can use a large flat tip screwdriver to pry the shock up a little to get the bolt loose), and install the Brake Line Anchor between the head of the bolt and the shock mount. I installed it between the nut and the shock mount.
Note: Do not tighten the nut on the lower shock bolt yet, but you will need to get it just snug enough to still move the anchor around.
4. Once the Brake Line Anchor is installed you need to install the ABS line into the anchor first. It will sid down in the little slot at the bottom. Then install the brake line into the anchor.
5. Loosely install the zip ties on the Brake Line Anchor and adjust the line position as needed. TeraFlex installed theirs pulled a little towards the tire to help the lines stay clear of the tire when turning the opposite direction. Now repeat the above for the other side.
6. Test the position of the lines and anchor by turning the wheel from lock to lock and atriculating the axle. A buddy and a floor jack can help you out here. You won't get full articulation with a floor jack, but you can get a little movement to see how the shock reacts. With the shock bolt only snug you can rotate the anchor to find the best angle. Once your satisfied, tighten and trim the zip ties and lower shock bolt.

Common Sense and Safety should always be observed when working on your vehicle or doing modifications. Jackstands, wheel blocks, disconnecting the battery are a few of the basic safety precautions that should be used and may not be mentioned in the write ups on this site. You are responsible for your own installation, these write ups are a helpful guideline and should not be taken as an official installation instruction. My write up may be different from the kits currently out there, so alwasy double check the manufacturers installation instructions when installing anything. I try to keep the site up to date with changes that have occured as I discover them, but may not have the latest unless someone lets me know. If you feel that an install is above your capabilities after reading my write ups, I recommend getting together with a club and getting some help. Only a few times have I needed to employe some actual help from a shop to get something done. Usually welding or A/C work. While I have spent many years working on mechanical systems, I am not an expert, nor do I pretend to be one. I hope these write ups have been useful to you.
