Brake Line and Hose Inspection
• Inspect the brake lines for leakage from the brake lines or fittings. Replace as needed. See Hydraulic
Line and Hose Replacement on page 6-23.
• Brake hoses must be flexible and free from leaks, cuts, cracks or bulges. Replace as needed. See
Hydraulic Line and Hose Replacement on page 6-23.
• Turn the steering wheel all the way from left to right and back again. Contact between brake hoses and
any components, especially the wheels or tires, will damage brake hoses.
• Check the back side of each brake cluster backing plate for signs of brake fluid leakage. If so, deter-
mine the cause of the leak and replace the brake hose or wheel cylinder. See Wheel Cylinder
Replacement on page 6-19. Also See Hydraulic Line and Hose Replacement on page 6-23.
Park Brake Inspection
• Apply moderate pressure to the park brake handle. When latched, the park brake should lock the
wheels and hold the vehicle stationary (on incline of 20% or less). If not adjust the park brake. See
Park Brake Adjustment on page 6-35.
• Check the park brake cables, equalizer and linkage for damage. The cables should not come in contact
with either of the rear wheels or tires.
