1973 Dodge Coronet Front Breaks Question

[bohem347]

Would someone be able to provide me with a photo of the front disk breaks and the soft break line routing showing how the break line is routed from the break caliper to the hard line attached to the body. I have taken mine apart a while back and do not recall the setup so a reference photo would be greatly appreciated. Again, this is for 1973 Dodge Coronet.

I don't have a pic handy but the soft line should run from the caliper up to a bracket on the upper control arm, then connect to the hard line there - pretty straightforward routing.

"brake" is the word you are looking for.

Keep in mind that there’s a Left & a Right caliper. It’s possible to install them on the wrong side & then the flexible hose is kinked (fyi)

I assume that the 1973 front disc brake setup would be the same as used in 1971.
Here is my set-up on my 71 Runner.
Left photo is the driver's side and the right one is the passenger side.

Thank you for that! My understanding is that the hard break line typically ends where the break caliper mounts, either forward or rearward of center of the wheel. Mine seems to be on the opposite end.

Break/brake is worthy of remark.

Ya, good catch that's what happens when English is your 3rd language.

But somehow people understood what I was looking for ...

All good, same letters, just have to get them in the correct order. I have school teachers asking me to do their breaks.......!

Lots of people make that mistake....and many do 'alot' vs a lot (I was one of them). Then we have ones that do stuff like that on poipous to mess with the English 'pros' lol

*verify the bleeder screw is at the highest point on the caliper when mounted
This is very important!
