7. Inspect the right front brake tube black coating, at the area shown in Figure 4, for damage:
-
If the black coating on the right front brake tube has no damage and the left rear brake tube previously inspected has no damage, continue with
Section F.
-
If the black coating on the right front brake tube is scuffed, but no bare metal is showing, the right front brake tube is good. If the previously
inspected left rear brake tube was not damaged or only scuffed, continue with Section F.
-
If the black coating on the right front brake tube has been damaged and bare metal is visible, replace the right brake tube. For Left Hand Drive,
continue with Section B to replace the right front brake tube or Section C to replace just the left rear brake tube. For Right Hand Drive, continue
with Section D to replace the right front brake tube or Section E to replace just the left rear brake tube.
B. Replace the Right Front Wheel Brake Tube (Left Hand Drive)
NOTE:
The following procedure is required if the right brake tube requires replacement per the inspection in Section "A".
1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Using a brake pedal holding tool, depress the brake pedal past its first inch of travel and hold it in this position.
NOTE:
Holding the pedal in this position will isolate the master cylinder from the hydraulic brake system and will not allow brake fluid to drain out of the
brake fluid reservoir while brake tubes are disconnected.
3. Raise the vehicle on a hoist.
4. Remove and save the left front plastic wheel liner.
