Who has installed Wheelers Offroad braided front brake lines?

I think Wheelers is a good company...but I had issue with their braided front brake line and wondering if anyone had an issue.

Basically I can only get two threads engaged with the 10mm nut at the caliper hard line, does not inspire confidence. Reinstalled the cracked Toyota line for now, I tried with both braided line. The Toyota line I get almost 6 threads when tightened.

I will call Wheelers Monday but looks like I will toss these.

Yea, I have them Installed on my rig. This is actually my 2nd set. The 1st set I ended up stripping the threads. I was able to get a few threads started, but as I kept trying to tighten the hard line, I was actually stripping the threads. On my 2nd set it only caught on to a few threads again, but this time I just kept it easy on tightening them, and stopped on the slightest resistance. I've got quite a few threads showing on the hard line, but it's on there snug. I bled the brakes and havnt noticed any leaks since I've had them on. It's been a few months and a few offroad trips and there is still no leaks, fluid is still on the line. I've attached a few pictures to show how mine looks.

Good luck.

I’ve had the braided lines from Wheelers front and rear for the last 6 months, couldn’t be more pleased with them. This is the first time I’ve heard anyone’s had any issues with them.

Good luck getting them to respond or honor any warranty they have.... I paid for my struts to be assembled and they assembled one of the struts wrong. I emailed, called, left voicemails, and then finally got in touch with the sales rep and he said he would return with a phone call. I never got a phone call from him. I'm glad everyone has had a great experience with them. I suppose I'm the only one that got done wrong by them.

I ended up renting a spring compressor and turning the spring 180* to have it seated properly.

I've had these for almost 6 years now. No issues and I don't remember any threading issues.
