its pretty easy once you figure the adaptors you need.

pull the front line off the master cylinder, and screw it into the line lock.

take a short piece of brakeline and connect the line lock to the master cylinder.

run 12v to a switch or relay, and take the other end and run it to the line lock.

bleed the brakes and enjoy your control of locking the front tire wale the rears are free to spin.

ive done these for a few of my trucks (sticks) and for friends, it makes launching on steep hills much easier. you can lock the front tires and work the clutch, when the engine bogs just release the line lock and away you go.

you will need to find some adaptors to go from the 18th line to a master clylinder, and another fitting to connect to the line lock. most parts stores will have them in like an edelman or other brand boxes. just need to be patient and figure what you need. on newer abs vehicles they make the brake light stay on untill you hit the brakes again, its just how they sensors work, you wont have to worry about that though.
