Solution for Trailer Brake Caliper that is Too Close to Leaf Spring
Question:
Hello, I purchased a Stainless Kodiak Disc Brake Kit and I have run into a little problem. The leaf springs are in the way for the brake line to come off the caliper. See attached image. Is there an elbow connector that I can attach to the caliper or is there a different brake line with an angled joint? Thanks for any help you can provide.

You could take the mounting bracket for the caliper and put it in the highest position or basically so that it would be on top of the rotor instead of to the side of it. This would get it out of the way.
