The problem with Wilwoods is this , all brake calipers have a fluid seal along the side of the piston & a dirt / dust deal at the edge of the piston next to the brake pad , Wilwood does NOT have the outer dirt / dust seal only he inner fluid seal so if you do not keep them clean the dirt can compromize the fluid seal & as the piston extends rust or corrosion can pit the piston & prevent the fluid seal from sealing when the new pads are installed & the piston is retracted .

The Tee is held in place with a hollow breather bolt that goes into the housing , you would have to drill & tap a new hole & plug the old hole to move the tee location

:haha: of course it is.

What about an adapter? Maybe something to bend the line at 90 degrees so that it's not touching? Is there such a thing?

Chryco Psycho

Can you twist the tee enough to reroute the line ?

I'll crawl up under it tonight and see what I can do. I didn't know that the bolt on top held it in place.

rebelyell

I might be able to twist the lines enough that I can move the stainless line out of the way. I think a 90 or a 45 degree adapter would be perfect.

looking at that photo again that's the front side of your diff... I will take a look at mine and I should have a bit of spare line parts from my replacement that I can send you if they'll solve the issue.

rebelyell

@ledphoot oh, no way man! I really apprrciate that. Do you think a 90 degree 7/16 npt adapter would work? If I can get out of this by just going to the auto parts store I'll save us all some trouble.

You should be able to get a 90* flare to flare fitting use the tee block on the line & change the angle of one or both lines out of the tee block
