This is a great little piece. Its nice quality and does a great job.
The install was pretty straight forward. Howler sends good directions.
Tools Needed
9/16 & 5/8 Wrench
5/8 socket and ratchet
PB Blaster
Anti Seize
Utility Knife
I removed the drivers side rear tire to make the install easier.
Don"t forget your jack stands
I started by soaking the vent tube bolt with PB Blaster.
Used a small utility knife split the rubber vent hose slightly at the vent so it removed easier.

Remove the vent bolt and put aside.

Carefully move the brake hose and tube up and forward careful not to kink the line.
Clean the vent tube bolt and apply a small amount of anti seize to the threads. Put the extender in place and start the vent bolt but do not tighten.
Carefully manipulate the brake and hose to line up the hole in the hose with the bracket and apply a small amount of anti seize to the new bolt and start the new bolt but do not tighten all the way.

alternating between the 2 bolts as you tighten it all up, once tight reinstall the vent hose and your good to go. The only issue I had is the brake line going to the drivers side wheel cylinder sat directly between the bump stop and axle tube. No problem just a little creative bending and repositioning of the brake tube should take care of it. This works very well. Great product.
took 1/2 hour to install.
