Brake Tube Adjustment

NOTE:
This repair must only be performed if there are no brake fluid leaks in the subject area between the transmission crossmember and the floor pan.

NOTE:
When installing the tubes to the new clips, be sure to install the fuel and air suspension tubes in the same slot locations as in the original clips.

NOTE:
Only vehicles equipped with air suspension will have air suspension tubes routed through the bundle clips.








1. Mark the location of the # 3 and # 4 bundle clips (nearest the transmission crossmember) on the frame rail to assure proper positioning of the new clips. See Figures 2 and 3.

2. Remove the bolts for the # 3 and # 4 bundle clips. See Figure 3.

3. CAUTION: Do not damage the brake, air or fuel tubes while removing them from the clips. Carefully pry the brake, air and fuel tubes out of the clips and remove the clips from the vehicle. Discard the clips.

4. CAUTION: Do not damage the brake, air or fuel tubes while installing them into the new clips.

CAUTION:
Position the clips in the same location as the original clips before installing any tubes. The clips will be very difficult to reposition once tubes are installed.





NOTE:
The new clips are designed to reposition the brake tubes away from the floor pan. Position the fuel, brake and air suspension tubes into the new # 3 bundle clip in the sequence shown in the illustration. See Figure 4.

5. Install the bolts. Tighten to 25Nm (11 lb-ft).

6. If necessary, adjust the brake tubes away from the floor pan and transmission crossmember. There should be at least 8 mm (approximately 318 inch) clearance between the tubes and floor pan or crossmember.

7. Lower the vehicle. Turn the air suspension switch ON, if equipped, and release the vehicle.
