Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, verify compatibility with your specific Ford Bronco or F-150 model year. Ensure the brake system is depressurized and fluid is drained to avoid spills. Use the stamped steel bracket included to secure the hose properly, but note that mounting hardware is not included and may need to be sourced separately. Inspect fittings for proper thread engagement and torque to manufacturer specifications to prevent leaks. After installation, bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and restore optimal brake function.
