Removal and Installation

NOTE: Brake hoses for each brake are unique and are not interchangeable.

Always use Mopar replacement brake hoses to ensure quality, correct length and superior fatigue life. Care should be taken to make sure that the tube and hose mating surfaces are clean and free from nicks and burrs.
Use new copper seal washers on all connections using banjo bolts and tighten all the fittings to their specified torques.
Follow the procedures in the next three paragraphs to reduce the potential for twisting the brake hose during installation.
The flexible front hydraulic brake hose should always be installed on the vehicle by first attaching the banjo fitting to the disc brake caliper. Attach the hose to the brake tubing before attaching it to the front frame rail. Tighten all brake line fittings to the specified torque.
On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, loosely install the rear brake hose to the wheel cylinder first, then bolt the intermediate routing bracket to the strut. Next, loosely install the hose to the steel tube coming from the master cylinder. Attach the hose bracket to the body. Finally, tighten the tube nuts at each end of the brake hose.
On vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes, attach the brake hose banjo fitting to the caliper first, then loosely install the hose to the steel tube coming from the master cylinder. Next, attach the brake hose bracket to the body. Finally, tighten the tube nut at the each of the end of the brake hose connecting to the steel tube coming from the master cylinder.
Only double wall 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) steel brake line tubing with Nygal coating should be used for replacement along with its special tube nuts. Care must be taken when replacing brake tubing; to be sure, use the proper bending and flaring tools, and procedures to avoid kinking. Do not route the tubes against sharp edges, moving components, or into hot areas. All tubes should be properly attached with the recommended retaining clips.
