2005 Pontiac Gto

The Wilwood instructions suggest fabricating a bracket to hold the new brake line, but we opted to just gently bend the factory hard line and route it behind the shock, keeping it well away from wheel interference. The Wilwood braided line was then attached to the factory line using 7/16, 11/16, and 10mm line wrenches. No pipe thread sealant on these; they are all flared! The above steps were repeated for the other side of the vehicle with similar shimming and alignment procedures; the number of shims used on your vehicle may vary from ours, and will also likely vary side-to-side. The rear brakes were then bled, the wheels reinstalled, and it was time to move on to the front of the car!
