Repairing brake lines

Using the brake line flaring tool - VAS 6056- , the brake lines can
be crimped with a pipe outside diameter of 5 mm, without dam‐
aging the coating. So that in certain cases parts of the brake lines
can be replaced cheaply.
Note
Brake lines must only be bent max. 90°, otherwise they kink
♦
or present deformations, which constrain the line cross-sec‐
tion in an unauthorized manner.
Preferably separate brake lines at underbody.
♦
The positions of the intermediate pieces must be selected so
♦
that they cannot chafe on moving parts.
Do not grease spindle and only clean with methylated spirits.
♦
Special tools and workshop equipment required
♦ Brake line flaring tool - VAS 6056-
♦ Brake filling and bleeding device , e. g. -VAS 5234-
