With the vehicle off the ground and properly supported by jackstands, as you prepare for an under car inspection approximately every 6 months, take some time to search for any cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters or any other signs of damage for the flexible hoses that should connect the steel brake lines with the front and rear brake assemblies because these are parts of the brake system. A light and mirror will help check and any hose that displays the early signs of wear should be replaced. To replace brake hoses, acquire the vehicle, remove the wheel if necessary and unscrew the wheel lug nuts, while adding the knowledge that rear brake hoses do not need a wheel to be removed. Remove the brake line fitting from the hose at the bracket; the nuts should not be over-tightened as this will cause rounded corners; then, locate and unhook the U-clip. On the end of the caliper, you need to unbolt the banjo bolt and Unscrew the hose besides doubling the two sealing washers. For front brake hoses, remove the U-clip by pulling back the retaining tab which will disengage it & release the clip, and then disconnect the hose from the strut bracket. To re route the new hose, pass the caliper fitting end through the strut bracket, tighten the banjo bolt using the banjo and sealing washers provided to connect the hose to the caliper More so, the hose should not be twisted. Regress the hose into the frame bracket and then take the brake line fitting and insert it, put the U-clip in place and then tighten the fitting. After the installation on the vehicle is completed, check and replenish the master cylinder fluid level, and then bleed the brake system followed by a very cautious examination of the brakes. When replacing metal brake lines, use the right steel parts and do not use copper tubing, prefabricated brake lines are available in auto part stores. Make sure the new line is properly supported and it is not close to any moving or hot part of the system.
