Replacing Both Rear Brake Hoses

Replacing Both Rear Brake Hoses

After finishing work: Bleed brake system.





Apply pedal prop and depress brake pedal slightly. This prevents brake fluid from escaping from expansion tank after brake pipes have been disconnected (which would enable air to enter the braking system).





Open flaps (1) on line holder (2).
Unhook lines.
Release nuts and remove plastic liner (3).





Installation: Line holder must be replaced!
Pay attention to routing of lines.





Installation:
First attach brake hose to brake caliper and tighten down, then tighten connection of brake line/brake hose.
Never twist brake hose when installing it.
