Front brake hose
Pic. 10.14. Location of front brake hose support brackets
When disconnecting the brake hose, use a gas wrench. Loosen the flange nut and remove the brake hose support bracket (pic. 10.14). When connecting, install the bracket, then tighten the flange fixing nut.
When installing, check the threads of the hollow bolt for cleanliness.
After installing the brake hose, make sure the hose is not kinked or kinked. Make sure that when turning the front wheel from one extreme position to another, the brake hose does not come into contact with the elements of the front suspension and the body.
Remove air from the hydraulic drive of the brake system.
Rear brake hose
Using a gas wrench, disconnect the hose from both sides, be careful not to bend the fasteners or steel pipes.
Use pliers to remove all clamps and remove the tapered ends of the hose from the suspension.
Loosen the hose hanger bolt and remove the hose.
Without twisting the hose, install its conical ends in the frame hangers.
Install the conical hose end retaining clips on the hanger.
Using a gas wrench, attach the steel tubes to the hose end fittings. Be careful not to bend the fasteners or steel tubes.
Check that when installing the hose, the suspension on the frame is not loosened. Tighten the suspension if necessary.
Fill the reservoir and bleed the hydraulic brake system.
Steel tubing brake system
If tubing needs to be replaced, use only double layer steel tubing or other proven material. If copper tubing is used, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions for the use of additional support clamps.
Preformed brake lines are available in various lengths.
If preformed tubing is not found, purchase the recommended tubing system and replacement connectors. Determine the exact length of the old brake tube and cut the new tube to the measured length, leaving about 1 cm extra for taper expansion at the ends.
Install the connectors on the tubes and shape the cones according to ISO standards.
Using a tube bending tool, bend the tube to the shape of the old brake tube.
Tapered tube expansion and bending can be done at any bodyshop.
When installing the brake pipe, leave a gap of at least 75 mm between the pipe and any moving parts.
Remove air from the hydraulic drive of the brake system.
