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 sliding 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 additional 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 inside 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 between 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 Shoreland’r
Owners Manual. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of
driving and then periodically thereafter.
BRAKE INSTALLATION
Locate the brake hose coming out of a hole in the inside
rear of the right side frame near the axle position. Route
the hose over to the 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 in the brass block.
Remove the brass 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 brass
plug was just removed. Tighten.
ATTACHING AXLE HOSE TO SPRING PLATE
It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle
be attached 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 towing.
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.
