Front brake hose
2. To separate the flexible hose and brake pipe, loosen the pipe nut with a special wrench, then remove the bracket. When connecting them, install the bracket, then tighten the nut.
Location of front brake hose bracket
3. When installing, make sure all bolt threads are clean.
4. After installing the brake hose, make sure that the hose is not kinked. Also, check if the hose is adjacent to the front suspension components. To do this, turn the wheels to the extreme left, and then to the extreme right. If in one of the positions the hose touches the suspension, remove the hose and correct its installation as necessary.
5. Finally, bleed the brake system (Chapter 15).
Rear brake hose
6. Using a special wrench, disconnect both ends of the hose, being careful not to bend the bracket or steel tubes.
7. Remove all brackets with pliers and separate the hose tips from the brackets.
8. Wring out a fixing bracket of a hose and remove a hose.
9. Without twisting the hose, install the hose ends into the brackets.
10. Install the brackets securing the tips to the bracket.
11. Using a special wrench, attach the steel tube ends to the hose ends. Be careful not to bend the bracket or steel tube.
12. Make sure the bracket has not loosened during installation of the hose. Tighten the bracket if necessary.
13. Fill the master cylinder reservoir and bleed the system (see chapter 15).
Steel brake pipes
14. To replace steel lines, use only double wall steel tubing, or at least a type approved by the manufacturer. If copper alloy tubing is used, carefully install additional mounting brackets following the manufacturer's instructions.
15. Ready-made brake pipes of various lengths are sold in car dealerships.
16. If no prefabricated tubing of the correct length is available, purchase tubing from the recommended material and ferrules to make the required tubing. Determine the correct length by measuring the old brake pipe and adding 13 mm to the value obtained for the flaring of the ends.
17. Insert the ferrules into the new tube and flare the ends using the special tool.
18. Using a special tool, bend the tube to give it a shape identical to the shape of the old tube.
19. Flaring the ends of the tube and giving it the desired shape can be entrusted to any service station that has the appropriate equipment.
20. When installing the brake pipe, make sure that there is at least 20 mm clearance between the pipe and the surrounding components.
21. In conclusion, bleed the brake system (Chapter 15).
