BRAKE HOSES

Inspection
Brake hoses should be inspected frequently for
leaks and damages.
Check if the hoses are crushed or damaged. Any
deformation can restrict the proper flow of fluid
and cause braking problems.
Check hoses for cracking or scrapes. This dam-
age can cause hose failure under pressure.
When hoses are removed or disconnected, clean-
liness must be observed. Clean all joints and con-
nections before disassembly. New hoses should
be cleaned with brake fluid before installation to
remove any contamination.
Replace any defective parts.
Removal
NOTE: Before removing any hoses, drain the ap-
propriate brake circuit.
Remove all necessary parts to reach the hoses.
Thoroughly clean the area around the joints that
will be disconnected.
Place a drain pan under the joint that will be dis-
connected.
Disconnect any retaining clips or brackets holding
the hose and remove the defective part(s).
Installation
Install the new hose.
Make sure the piece will not rub against any other
part.
When there is a Banjo fitting securing the hoses
to the calipers, pressure control valve or to mas-
ter cylinders, always replace sealing washers with
new ones.
