Rear brake hose — replacement

To carry out the work, you will need an assistant, as well as a special wrench for 10 mm for brake pipes, a transparent vinyl pipe of a suitable diameter, a container for draining brake fluid, fresh brake fluid (see "Operating fluids").

Removing

1. We install the car on a viewing hole or overpass (see "Vehicle preparation for maintenance and repair").

2. Using a special 10 mm wrench for brake pipes, unscrew the pipe fitting, holding the hose tip with a 17 mm wrench.



3. To reduce the loss of brake fluid, put a protective cap on the end of the tube (from the brake cylinder bleeder).



4. Use pliers to remove the bracket that secures the hose.



5. Using a 15 mm wrench, unscrew the hose tip from the tee and remove the hose.

Installation

1. Installing the rear brake hose is done in reverse order.

2. We pump the rear circuit of the brake mechanisms (see "Hydraulic brakes - pumping and replacing brake fluid").
