Brake Hose/Line: Description and Operation
Brake Line
CAUTION: Never use copper tubing. It is subject to fatigue, cracking and corrosion which could result in brake tube failure.
Steel tubing is used throughout the brake hydraulic system. All brake tube fittings must be properly double flared to provide strong leakproof
connections. When bending the tubing to fit the underbody or rear axle contours, be careful not to kink or crack the tube, allow the tube to contact any
other component, or come within 50.8 mm (2 inches) of the exhaust system.
If a section of brake tube is damaged, the entire section must be replaced with a tube of the same type, size, shape and length.
When replacing hydraulic brake tubing, hoses or connectors, tighten all connections securely. After replacement, bleed the brake system.
