why exactly did you have to take the brake lines loose?


because you have to be able to rotate the brake line and you have to put the banjo bolt thru the other side of the hole at the end of the brake line where it bolts to the caliper.

I suppose you could, but it would be more involved.

Status: offline 		well, I'm gonna either have to flip my hubs back to the stock position or try switching sides, because for some reason I can't bleed all the air out of my brakes with the calipers on the front of the rotor.  I even bought a brake bleeder kit and it made no difference.

Silverdols----If you swap sides let me know how it works out.  I may swap mine also if the brakes bleed better.

I don't see any reason why it would work, but if it does I'll let you know.  It will be Monday or Tuesday before I can get it done though.  I need to buy a 32 mm socket.

Holy Cr@p Batman, the torque on the Rhino axle nut is 255 ft/lbs.

That shouldn't make any difference, but you gave me an idea.  I just swapped sides with the calipers.  They're still on the front of the rotors, but they're right side up now.  I can see no discernible differences between the calipers, so it should work.  This is much easier to do than swap the spindles.  I'll let ya'll know after I can get the brakes bled sometime this afternoon.

It's going much better.  I haven't bleed them half as much as I did the other way and already the pedal is better.  I'm gonna bleed them one, maybe two more times and I think it will be there.

Status: offline 		yeah flipping the calipers will make them alot easier to bleed. it is hard to get the air out when the bleeder is on bottom. i ran into this when i helped my buddy bleed the brakes on a buggy he built to pull behind a team of mules. he used a car rear axle and had to flip it upside down to get the clearance that he needed.

Status: offline 		Starting to make sense why I had such a hard time bleeding mine.  I think I will take mine off and bleed them again and then put the calipers back on.  They never have felt as good as stock.  I always thought I still had a little air in there somewhere.

Swap sides with the calipers and then bleed them.  It should look ok with just the hubs flipped.  You may have to turn the shocks up in front.  No I didn't take any measurements.
