Question:

Is it possible to rotate the brake line fitting on this caliper? I need to turn it 90 degrees or use brake lines equipped with 90 degree fittings to clear the frame rail on my Karavan trailer.

Rotating the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC250D is going to be a no-go, however just as easily we do have some 90-degree brake line fittings that'll work just fine.

For the brake line you could use the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Hose # bh-3mfs90ff-1-5. This brake line measures 18" long (21" with the fittings), has a 90-degree swivel fitting at one end which will work great in tight spaces, and has deep threads to improve the connection to prevent leaks.
