EVO Manufacturing Brake Lines Question

[TerraJL]

Hello friends,

I have a 2023 JL Wrangler Rubicon. I bought a set of EVO Manufacturing brake lines for the front and rear of my Jeep. EVO-600132 and EVO-600133 are the part numbers. I noticed that on my OEM brakes where the lines connect to the caliper, the connections look like a brick style banjo (forgive me for using incorrect terminology here), if that makes sense. The lines from EVO are a hoop style (again sorry for not knowing the right lingo). Am I wrong in assuming that this will be a problem?

See photos for reference.

As always, thank you for your help!

You'll be fine with the new brake lines. You just need to make sure to use the NEW copper crush washers with them.

And DON'T over torque or you'll be looking for new crush washers.

Thanks, guys! Much appreciated. These new lines came with new copper washers.

One last question, do you guys know of the recommended torque specs for the front and rear lines? I have an inch pound wrench for this very purpose.

26 ft. lbs. You can find the torque specs here

Also, after torquing and bleeding, have a friend press the brake pedal while you carefully look for leaks. Sometimes fluid can seep past the washers and not be noticeable easily until later you'll have symptoms of air in the lines.
