Control arm brake line bracket

[Deleted member 30519]

This a temporary solution to my new control arms. Any ideas? Do you think I could bend it with vice grips? My knowledge working on vehicles isn't up to par with most of you guys.

I take it you have lifted your Jeep? If so, you may be able to unwrap the bracket from the line all together, and do away with it. That’s how I’m running mine with 3” of lift and 28.5” long shocks. You wouldn’t want to do this with near-stock suspension.

Yeah it's got a 3.5" lift. I guess my question is would I be able to get this bracket off with a vice grip and a hand grip without damaging the brake line. It looks like it's in there pretty good.

Yes, Vice grips and pliers work. Be patient and intentional, and you can roll the bracket open, then pull the brake line out.

Some Control arms like Clayton have a bolt hole in their arms and an extension in their kit. Here is a picture. Some control arms do not have that bolt hole, so, in that case, you need to get rid of the bracket. Vise grips should work.
