Got new rubber hoses that will be changed when I install my already purchased dropped axle(55 chevy truck). How do you install them so they don't twist all up when tightening Does loosening the nut on the other side of the frame prevent that?

Thanks,

Keith

Tighten it onto the wheel cyl.first and then from the metal brake line,twist the nut into your new rubber line.
Thats how it is on my 54.
I just bought a 3" drop axle from Sid Drapal. What did you get?
