Every six months, after the vehicle has been raised and support on stands, flex hoses, interconnecting steel brake lines to the forward and rearward brake assemblies, should be examined for cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters and the likes because they are parts of the brake assembly which require a thorough examination with the help of a light and mirror. If you, find any defects replace the hose with a new one. First remove the dirt on the hose ends, then disconnect the brake hose from the brake line, this is done by use of a flare nut wrench to remove the metal tube nut, then unclASP the U clip on the female end at the bracket and finally remove the hose from the bracket. Subsequent to this remove the hose from the caliper, discard the sealing washers of the fitting on both sides and connect the new brake hose to the caliper or the
Wheel Cylinder using the new sealing washer. To replace the hose for the metal line, feed through the frame bracket and make sure the hose is straight before threading the tube nut and installing the u-clip to the frame bracket. Check to make sure that no parts of the suspension or steering get to touch the hose ensuring that an assistant steps on the vehicle's accelerator and rotate the steering from lock to lock during inspection. When replacing brake lines, use correct model part, do not use copper tubing, to get steel brake lines, approach a dealer or auto parts store. Ready-made brake lines with flare for tube ends and fittings are also given and can be formed to the right shape by a tubing bender. It is also good to make sure that the new line is adequately spaced from many possible sources of interference or heat-generating devices. After installation master cylinder, check the master cylinder fluid level and fixed corrosion protection and add fluid, bleed Brake system before test the brake system with careful manner to safe braking system.
