Brake hose: 1 - tips; 2 - copper gasket; 3 - rubber seal; 4 - spring clip
The brake hose must be elastic, not have tears or cracks. The hose must be firmly embedded in the ferrules. The threads of the hose ends must not be damaged. If the hose swells when you press the brake pedal, then the cords are broken. If any of these defects are found, the hose must be replaced. Replace heavily crimped copper gasket.
1. While holding the brake hose from turning with a wrench, unscrew the pipe fitting. Remove the spring clip.
2. Take out from an arm a rubber sealant together with a hose.
3. Unscrew the brake hose end from the wheel cylinder and remove it. Plug the holes in the pipeline and the wheel cylinder.
4. Install the hose in the reverse order of removal. When installing the hose, do not forget to install a copper gasket under the lug attached to the wheel cylinder.
5. When installing the hose, make sure that it is not kinked. For control, a colored strip is applied on the hose.
6. Similarly, the hose that supplies the working fluid to the brake mechanisms of the rear wheels is replaced.
7. After replacing the hose, add fresh brake fluid to the reservoir and bleed the hydraulic brake system.
