Locate the 18” brake line hose for the second axle.
Remove the plastic plug from the port in the brass block on the right
brake caliper. Thread the brake hose male end into the block and
tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN Over tightening will cause the brass
block to crack and then leak. Secure the hose to the brake hose-
mounting bracket with the U-shaped hose clip.
Locate the brass tee connector. Screw the male port of the tee into
the brake line hose. Tighten. Next connect the side frame hose into
the top port on the tee. Connect the two axles together using the
42” brake hose supplied. Thread one end of the hose into the brass
tee just installed. Route the line over to the second axle, and insert
it into the larger outer hole in the brake hose mounting bracket.
Route it down to the caliper where it will be attached.
Remove the plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake
caliper. Thread the brake hose just routed down from the side frame
into the port where the plug was just removed. Tighten.
Hand-tighten the fitting on the end of the 42” brake hose to the side
fitting of the brake caliber.
Attach the axle brake hose to the bottom fitting on the brake caliber.
Tighten all hose end fittings with a wrench. Tighten 1/4 turn once
the flares are bottomed out. Repeat on other (left) caliper.
If the connection leaks while bleeding, tighten only enough to stop
the leak.
Over-tightening will permanently damage the flare of the brass fit-
ting causing the fitting to leak.
ATTACHING AXLE HOSE TO SPRING PLATE
It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle be at-
tached to the spring plate to eliminate the loops that are formed in
the hose when it is attached to the calipers. Doing so will eliminate
the possibility of the hose getting caught or damaged while tow-
ing.
Locate one of the hose clamps. Spread open the clamp so it can be
slipped around the hose in the loop that is formed under the spring
as it is routed to the caliper. Once in position, squeeze the clamp
back together.
Raise the hose clamp and the loop up until the hose clamp is on top
of the spring bracket raising the loop up so it is on the back side of
the axle. Align the hole in the clamp with the hole in the rear of the
spring bracket between the two U-bolts.
Place a No. 10 flat washer on a No. 10 x 1” machine bolt. Insert the
bolt into the clamp, then down through the spring bracket. Place
on another No. 10 flat washer and secure with a No. 10 hex nut.
Tighten.
Repeat this process on the other loop on the other end of the axle.

FRAME BRAKE LINE
Place the rubber grommet around the brake hose and insert it
into the hole in the brake hose mounting bracket. The grommet
will protect the hose from abrasion as well as retain it from slid-
ing down while being towed. Enough slack should be left in the
brake hose from the hose mounting clamp and the axle to allow the
axle to move freely without the hose rubbing on the spring or any
other steel part. All additional hose above the brake hose mounting
clamp and the side frame hole can be pushed back into the side
frame for protection from the elements.
In the event that the axle position is at some distance from the hole
in the side frame where the brake hose is routed from, two addi-
tional hose mounting clamps and self-tapping screws are provided
to attach the brake hose to the inside of the side frame. Bend the
hose mounting clamps open far enough so the hose can be slid in-
side the clamp. Once the hose is inside, bend the clamps back shut
so it forms around the brake hose. Position the two clamps on the
inside of the side frame spaced so there is an equal distance be-
tween the hole where the brake hose comes out of the side frame
and the brake hose mounting clamp. Using the self-tapping screws,
drill them into the side frame to secure the clamps in place. Tighten
until the screws are fully in. This will grip the brake hose and keep
it from moving.
All bleeding to the line is to be done through the bleeders on
the calipers.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line
per the instructions in the brake manual.
TIRE & RIM 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 ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodi-
cally thereafter.
