NOTICE
♦ Brake fluid must never come into contact with fluids contain‐
ing mineral oils (oil, petrol, cleaning agent, because the fluids
damage the sealing rings and boots of the brake system.
♦ Because of its caustic effect, the brake fluid must not come
into contact with paint.
♦ Observe the applicable disposal instructions.
♦ Only use new brake fluid.
CAUTION
Brake fluid is toxic and must never be sucked up by mouth!
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.
♦
The arrow, on the rounded side of the flaring chucks, must
♦
point to the housing edge. The straight sides of the flaring
chucks must be installed facing the spindle, otherwise the flar‐
ing head is not correctly positioned.
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.
Separate
– Unscrew the affected brake line on the brake caliper or wheel-
brake cylinder, while doing so collect escaping brake fluid and
dispose according to the specifications.
– Cut through the brake line in a suitable location (straight, freely
accessible piece) with the pipe cutter -2-.
– Remove the part to be replaced.
– Degrease the surface of the brake line.
