Brake Tubing Repair/Tube Flaring
BRAKE TUBE REPAIR
Only double wall 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) steel tubing with Al-rich/ZN-AL alloy coating and the correct tube nuts are to be used for replacement of a
hydraulic brake tube.
Care should be taken when repairing 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.
Cutting And Flaring Of Brake Fluid Tubing
Tube End Properly Prepared For Flaring
Using Tubing Cutter, Special Tool C-3478-A or equivalent, cut off damaged seat or tubing. Ream out any burrs or rough edges showing on inside
of tubing. This will make the ends of tubing square and ensure better seating of flared end tubing. PLACE TUBE NUT ON TUBING BEFORE
FLARING THE TUBING.
