Brake Hose/Line: Testing and Inspection
Brake Hose
A flexible brake hose should be replaced if it shows signs of softening, cracking or other damage.
When installing a new brake hose, two new sealing washers should be used. Positioning of hose to brake caliper is controlled by a self-indexing brass
block. When retaining brake hose connection to caliper, tighten bolt to 40-60 Nm (30-44 ft. lbs.). Engage opposite end of hose to bracket on body.
Install horseshoe-type retaining clip and connect tube to hose with tube nut. Inspect position of installed hose for clearance to other chassis
components. Positioning of front brake hose is controlled by self-indexing end fittings.
