Who has installed Wheelers Offroad braided front brake lines?

[Capnemo]

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.

How many threads did you get before tightened?

How many threads were engaged before tight?

I have no idea .... but i have 6 threads exposed when tight on drivers side and 5 exposed on pass side.

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 just checked my pass side at the caliper hard line and I have about 5 threads showing.

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

i had no threading issues but did have issues with the 10mil head trying to strip until i bought the flare nut wrench. i too have about 4 or 5 threads left showing
