Brake hoses are flexible connections between fixed parts of the vehicle.
Removing
1. Raise the car.
2. Unscrew and remove the brake hose on the caliper or wheel brake cylinder.
3. Remove the mounting bracket on the suspension strut with pliers.
4. To unscrew a brake hose from the coupling of the rigid pipeline.
5. Plug the pipeline to the main brake cylinder with a suitable plug, or preliminarily pump out the brake fluid from the compensation tank using suction.
Installation
1. Install factory-made brake hoses only.
2. Screw the new brake hose onto the rigid pipe with force 20 Nm. This tightening torque also applies to other rigid pipe connections.
3. Install a new brake hose so that when the wheels are in the middle position, it sags without being twisted. Attach the brake hose to the bracket on the spring strut.
4. Disc brakes: Screw the brake hose to the caliper with 2 new gaskets with force 30 Nm, while the pin on the joint must fit into the hole on the caliper.
5. After installation with unloaded wheel (the car is raised) check that the hose follows all the movements of the wheel and does not rub anywhere.
Attention! Do not allow oil or gasoline to get on the brake hoses, do not varnish them or cover them with underbody protection mastic.
6. Bleed the brake system, see Section Bleeding the brake system.
7. Lower the car.
