When installing U-bolts, be sure to put U-bolts under any
brake lines, wires or hoses on the axle to avoid any possible damage.

clear the saddle bracket as shown in photo two (2). Secure brake line with tie strap.

leg of the saddle bracket is located on the cast center section with the leg just inside the raised lip on the casting. See photo two (2)
