Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair
STANDARD PROCEDURE - BRAKE TUBE REPAIR
CAUTION: This procedure applies to non-nylon coated brake tubes only. Do not attempt to repair nylon-coated brake tubes using this procedure. All
available brake systems on this vehicle use ISO Style Tubing Flares at all chassis brake tube connections. Only the connection between the rear
proportioning valve and flex hose uses a SAE double inverted flare. Only double wall 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) steel tubing should be used for
replacement of the chassis brake tubes.
NOTE: 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.
CAUTION: Always use the proper type flaring tool and procedure when flaring brake tubes to ensure the integrity of the vehicle's hydraulic brake
system.
