Brake Hose/Line: Service and Repair
-
Always use factory recommended brake hose to insure quality, correct length and superior fatigue life.
-
Care should be taken to make sure that the tube and hose mating surfaces are clean and free from nicks and burrs. Right and left hoses are not
interchangeable.
-
Use new copper seal washers on all "banjo" bolts and tighten all fittings to specified torque. Connections should be tight and properly made.
-
The flexible hydraulic brake hose should always be installed on the vehicle by first attaching the "Banjo" connector to the caliper assembly. Then
bolt the intermediate hose bracket to the strut assembly allowing the bracket to position the hose to prevent twisting. Attach the hose to the body
bracket and steel brake tubing. Tighten all fittings to specified torque.
-
The body bracket and hose end are "keyed" so that they will only fit one way.
-
Install rear brake hoses first to the trailing arm cross member tubes and then to the floor pan tubes. Minimize hose twisting.
