front brake hose problem!!!

I installed new front wheel cylinders and I cant fit the brake hose to the cylinder. It hits the kingpin. Does anyone have a picture of the front brake hose at the wheel cylinder so I can see what I did wrong? I think maybe I installed the wheel cylinders on the wrong side but im not sure yet.

Does the outlet on the front wheel cylinder face front or back?

Thanks guys!!!



Ken

Hi Ken,

It should face back so as to clear the Kingpin by about 3/4 inch.

Good Luck,
Julie

I think I figured it out. I may have he backing plates on the wrong sides also! I see now that the wheel cylinder mounts are off center line from the kingpin. I just need to swap everything around agian!!!!
