According to the maintenance plan and each time a vehicle is hoisted, brake hoses and lines are to be checked. In replacement, the process is applicable to either of the front brake hose between the bracket on the wheel well and the caliper or the single rear hose between the bracket on the underside of the body and the bracket on the top of the axle housing. Start by pulling off the U-clip into the bracket with pliers. To unattach a front brake hose to a metal brake line, detach the U-clip of the bracket on the wheel well, and still with a backup wrench, detach the threaded connection between the hose and the line. In the case of rear brake hose, the hose needs to be stripped off the threaded connection between the hose and the line, unscrew the U-clip out of the bracket on the underside of the body. Disconnect the hose to the bracket, then disconnect the brake line to the hose fitting with the help of a backup wrench. Take out the U-clip in the strut housing and remove the hose in the bracket. Unscrew the inlet banjo bolt on the caliper, and dispose of the sealing washers. Installation of the new hose involves use of a new sealing washer on either side of the hose fitting, installation of an inlet banjo bolt and then ensuring it is tightened. Insert the hose in the strut-housing bracket and fix it using the U-clip. And without twisting the hose, place the hose fitting into the frame bracket and apply a backup wrench to attach the brake line to the hose fitting. Fit the U-clip holding the female fitting to the frame bracket. Make sure that the hose is not kinked and it does not touch any section of the suspension by rotating the wheels to the left and right extremes. In case of contact, take away the hose and reassemble the installation. Once installed, ensure that the master cylinder fluid is at the correct level and fill it up accordingly and then bleed the brakes by loosening the system and checking the brakes before driving. In the replacement of metal brake lines, one must use the proper parts and should not use copper tubing on any part of the brake system. Real steel brake lines can be bought at a dealer parts department or auto parts store, and ready-to-assemble brake lines with flared tube ends and fitted fittings can as well be bought. Make sure that the new line is firmly clamped in the brackets and has a proper clearance of moving or hot parts. Once installed, ensure that the master cylinder fluid is at the correct level and fill it up accordingly and then bleed the brakes by loosening the system and checking the brakes before driving.
