Nissan 46316-JG000 Brake Rear Tube Assembly

With the vehicle in the air on jackstands, at roughly six-month intervals, check the flexible sections connecting the steel lines to the front and rear brake assemblies as these are parts of brake system. For further examination, you can use a light and mirror, and while doing so if you found that the hose of your back light is damaged then replace it with a new hose. When replacing brake hoses, loosen the wheel lug nuts and lift the vehicle and then remove the wheel, although, when replacing rear brake hoses one does not need to remove the wheel. To dismantle the brake line fitting from the hose at the bracket position unscrew the flare-nut with flare-nut wrench instead of rounding the corners off. To remove the U-clip on the female fitting at the bracket side, push the hose through. While at the caliper end, recommend that you unscrew the banjo bolt and disconnect the hose from the caliper; and ensure that you put the two sealing washers back when reconnecting the remaining components. When it concerns front brake hoses, the hose needs to be detached from the strut bracket after U-clip removal. To set the new hose, fitting end of the caliper should be moved through the strut bracket and then caliper should be fitted with banjo bolt and new sealing washers without twisting the hose. Insert the hose into the frame bracket, screw the brake line fitting by hand, clip it with the U-clip and then tighten the fitting. Afterward, expel any leftover brake fluid through a bleeder screw, fit the wheel back on and the lugs nuts, raise the car, and finally torque the lugs nuts to the recommended pound per inch or kilopound torque. While replacing the metal brake lines, use the correct steel and avoid the use of copper tubing. Ready made brake lines connected to the flare tubes and the necessary fittings can be bought at automotive stores. Make sure that the new line is supported well on brackets and is at adequate distance from moving & hot parts. Following the installation, look at the master cylinder reservoir for the fluid level, add more of the approved fluid if needed, next bleed the brake system and then test the brakes cautiously before driving in traffic.
