FF Brake Kit Banjo Bolt

[JohnnyDeere]

I was torquing the brake line banjo bolts to the specs in the manual the front bolts were fine. The rear banjo bolts not so much, I snapped one at about 28 lb going for 32, and the other side in the rear feels like its stretching I stopped around the same torque. So first question is I can't find the size for these banjo bolts, I see that breeze sells a M10-1.0 x 24 is that the correct size? Also, are the torque specs in the manual off and what should I be torquing these to.

These are the standard FF brakes not the wilwoods

Thanks Guys.

The banjo bolt sizes are listed on the BOM...boxes 18 and 22.

Fronts are M10-1.0-22mm and rears are M10-1.5.

I had the length for the front banjo bolts because I snapped one too in the front.

I was able to achieve the stated torque value for the rear banjo bolts but I backed off on the front torque value after the above mishap.

I had the same issue with my rear brakes. I addressed it in post #10 of my build thread.

I purchased Wilwood banjo bolts. (FYI, I don't have Wilwood brakes; I have FFR's brakes for 15" wheels.)

Here's a pic of what I used:

I snapped might rear banjos as well. I understand many others have as well. I eventually found replacements and went much lighter on the torquing.

An M10 banjo bolt is never going to make it to 32 ft lbs, that spec is wrong.

Thanks for all the input guys, for some reason all my bolts were 1 inch front and back don’t know why, but I will order a bunch and go much lighter. Easy fix.

Throw out the torque wrench and just use common sense . They have crush washers for a reason

I have the FFR brakes on the front and the larger FFR 13" brakes on the rear and believe it or not, one end was metric and the other end was standard. I don't recall off hand which was which, but glad I caught it with my tester gauges.
