Brake Tubing Repair/Tube Flaring
GENERAL INFORMATION
I.S.O. Style Tubing Flare And Fitting Connection
All available brake systems on this vehicle use ISO STYLE TUBING FLARES at all chassis brake tube to component locations, Only the
connection between the rear proportioning, valve and flex hose uses a double inverted flare.
Only double wall 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) steel tubing should be used for replacement of the chassis brake tubes. The chassis brake tubes used on this
vehicle are coated with a zinc alloy and aluminum rich coating referred to as Prokote 2000. If a chassis brake tube requires replacement, only
brake tubing with the same coating should be used as a service replacement. Care should be taken when replacing brake tubing, to be sure the
proper bending and flaring tools and procedures are used, to avoid kinking. Do not route the tubes against sharp edges, moving components or into
hot areas. All tubes should be properly attached with recommended retaining clips and fasteners.
Care must be taken when servicing components to avoid damage to the flexible stainless steel hoses between the master cylinder and junction
block or antilock hydraulic control unit.
ISO STYLE TUBE FLARING PROCEDURE
CAUTION: Always use the proper type of ISO flaring tool and required procedure, when tube flaring is required when servicing the vehicles
hydraulic brake system. This is required to ensure the integrity of the vehicle's hydraulic braking system.
