12-12 BRAKES
Brake Hoses and Pipes
Brake H ose and Pipe Inspe ction
The high pressure inside the brake line can cause fluid to
leak or the hose to burst if the line is not properly main-
tained. Bend and twist the rubber hose while examining
it.
Replace it if any cracks or bulges are noticed.
The metal pipe will rust if the plating is damaged.
Replace the pipe if it is rusted, cracked (especially check
the fittings), or if the plating is badly scratched.
Brake Hose and Pipe Replacement
To remove the metal pipes [A], unscrew the nipples [B].
To remove the hoses [C], remove the banjo bolts [D]
and/or pull out the retainers [E] (see below).
Immediately wipe up any brake fluid that spills.
CAUTION
Brake fluid quickly ruins painted surfaces; any
spilled fluid should be completely wiped up imme-
diately.
Use a new aluminum washer for each side of the hose
fittings at the master cylinder.
