Brake Line Installation
Remove balance of items from hardware box and sort all
items. Locate the long (90’) brake line and straighten out by
uncoiling.
Locate five (5) of the line clamps and the 1/4” self tapping screws.
Form the brake line so that it can be routed down the back side of the
axle and then over to the brass block on the calipers.
Remove one of the brass plugs from the port in the brass block
on the left brake caliper that best aligns with the routing of the
line. Note also that the bolt holding the brass block to the cali-
per can be loosened so that the brass block can be rotated to
better accommodate the angle that the brake line approaches
the block on the caliper. Thread the brake line fitting into this
port to hold the line in position making sure that the line does
not rub or touch the spring. Re-tighten the bolt in the brass
block if it has been loosened to rotate the block.
Route the line down the back side of the axle and secure
to the axle with the five (5) clamps and self tapping screws.
Note that the axle is pre-drilled for the mounting screws.
Route the brake line over to the brass block on the right
brake caliper. Remove both plugs on the right caliper block.
Thread this end of the brake line into one of the ports on the
brass block. Thread the male end of the 13” brake hose into
the other port from which the plug was removed and tighten.
Position the brass block so that neither the hose nor the brake
line will contact or rub the spring. Tighten all fittings.
Place the other end of the hose up through the hole pro-
vided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure in place with
the hose clip provided. Item No. 33 on page 6.
Repeat this process on the second axle.
Locate the brass tee. Thread the male port of the tee into
the female end of the brake hose of the front axle. Tighten.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line
coming out of the black plastic tube in the side frame by the
axle. Uncoil the brake line enough so that it will reach the port
of the tee just threaded into the brake hose. Thread the brake
line fitting into the top port of the tee and tighten.
Locate the 40” long brake line tube in box 68140. Thread one
end of the line into the remaining port of the tee installed in
the previous step. Route the line back to the second axle.
Place a coil in the line to use up the excess line and then
connect the other end of the line into the hose coming from
the second axle. Tighten both fittings. Note that the coil in the
line will absorb the vibration created during towing.
Bleeding the Brake System
Bleed the brake system as specified in the brake manual.
The bleeding process is necessary to remove ALL air
entrapped in the system in order for the brake system to
function properly.
Tire And Wheel Assemblies
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine
threaded tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 85-95 ft/lb.
of torque using the rotation pattern as shown in the Shore-
Landr’s Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50
miles of driving and then periodically thereafter.
