Need Help On Installinbg RSB

The "How To" in the stickies didn't clearly state that installation of side bracket on trailling arm where there is brake line run along it.

Wonder how you guys get away with it? unbolt the braket holding the brake line and later tie it back with cable tie?
could it be be run "in" the "U" side bracket?
any pic of it will be great help, thanks

Yeah, ya need to remove that bracket. Soonerfan and I both have our cables ziptied to the trailing arm. Just use 2-3 zip ties along the length of it and you will be fine.

I would take pics, but I won't be getting my new camera until at least tomorrow (old one is dead).

What brand of RSB are you installing? I have an Addco (Progress) and I did not need zip ties. The cable was able to remain in the bracket...just had to bend it a bit.

Just remove the bracket and zip tie it, nothing wrong with that method... or if ya find some creative way to bend the bracket, then go for it.
