line lock

[Spectragod]

Bugsyc, what are you not seeing here? The ONLY line you remove and reroute is the front master cylinder line (Closest to headlights)..

In order.
1)Foot on brake.
2)Fluid in front line now goes to linelock, instead on distribution block.
3) fluid leaves linelock and now heads to distribution block.

It really is tthat easy.

You brought up a good point however. Traction controlled cars are hooked up differently or do not work well or at all. I can't recall that hook up.

Yes you need a bender, they can be had for about $4. Also yes you will need two 1/4" IPS brass plugs if yours doesn't come with them. Mine is a Hurst roll control bought used for like $40.

I hope this clears things up.

IIRC, the cars with TC need to be hooked up with a pair of line locks, after the ABS/TC unit. For those of us that need to lock the front wheels to do a burnout.

I'm getting ready to do this. Does the antilock brake module need to be opened to bleed the brakes properly? I had all kinds of bleeding issues when I replaced my master.

If the master cylinder was bench bled before installation there would be minimal air to get out. If the you do need to get air out you'll most likely need the ABS scan tool to cycle the ABS pump.

I noticed that it was mentioned that '04's with traction control need two line locks after the ABS. Is this true?

I did bench bleed it but had a hell of a time getting the air out of the system, even with opening up the abs module. In the end, speed bleeders gave me the best results.

NO! Don't touch it.

It's been done with one Jim but a few had issues. Seems two is the easier way?

Alrighty then.

What's your opinion of the SS lines Bob? Worth the money vs improvement potential?

Ask anyone here and the answer is yes. After driving many many Marauders with them and comparing to my stock lines, I personally see NO difference. Put a little concrete under your boots, she'll stop plenty fine with a heavier foot.

Well, I changed out all the lines with new oem when I revamped the entire braking system. I thought these would be a nice addition to my Hurst line lock and save me the trouble of bleeding the system again if I do it later, but won't go there if it is not a not a big performance advantage.
