Nissan 46310-8Z500 Tube-Brake Rear LH

About every six months, inspect the rubber hoses connecting the steel brake lines with the front and rear brake assemblies for cracks, chafing of the outer cover, leaks, blisters, and other damages.

To replace the chassis-to-rear axle brake hose, raise the rear of the vehicle, block the front wheels, unscrew the brake line fitting from the hose at the chassis bracket, and remove the U-clip. At the axle end, unscrew the two brake line fittings, unscrew the bolt securing the fitting block to the axle housing, separate the lines from the fitting block, and remove the hose.
