Remove the rubber cap from the hard line and
screw the fitting into the new brake line by
hand for a few turns before tightening with an
11mm flare wrench.
Install the banjo bolt into the caliper with a copper crush
washer on each side of the Banjo fitting. Route the line
vertically, approximately parallel with the caliper body.
The Banjo bolt only needs to be tightened enough to seal
the crush washers. Excessive torque can damage the
threads inside the caliper and/or damage the Banjo bolt.
Place the stainless steel washer over the
inboard brake line fitting as shown.
Use a 14mm wrench to hold the stainless line
inboard fitting while using the flare wrench to
tighten the hard line fitting.
Note- It may help to have the wheels straight
to access the fittings with the wrenches.
After securing the line, turn the wheels lock-
to-lock to make sure the line is not binding
of touching any moving parts of the suspen-
sion. Adjust as necessary by re-clocking the
Banjo bolt on the caliper.
The Z8 has a pad wear sensor on the left front and right rear corners. These sensors
can be carefully removed from the stock brake pad and re-inserted into the new pad
in the StopTech ST-40 caliper. You will likely need to re-route the lead wire, which
can typically be ty-wrapped to the new brake line.
