Replacing Both Rear Brake Hoses

34 32 971 Replacing both rear brake hoses

Note:
Read and comply with General Information.
After completing tasks, bleed brake system.

Apply pedal prop and depress brake pedal slightly. This prevents brake fluid from emerging from the expansion tank and air from entering the system when the brake lines are opened.





Release union nut (1); to do so, grip brake hose at square (2).

Disconnect brake hose from brake caliper (3).






Installation: Mount and tighten brake hose on brake caliper first, then on brake line/brake hose point of connection.

Important: Never twist brake hose when installing it and avoid all contact with parts attached rigidly to the body.
