Removal and Installation

Always use Mopar replacement brake hose assemblies 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. Hose assemblies for each brake are unique and not interchangeable.
Use new copper seal washers on all connections using Banjo Bolts and tighten all fittings to their specified torques.
The flexible front hydraulic brake hose should always be installed on the vehicle by first attaching the Banjo connector to the disc brake caliper. After routing the flex hose around the strut, hand start the chassis brake tube nut into the end of the flex hose. Following this procedure will prevent twisting of the flex hose when the flex hose bracket is attached to the front frame rail. Then tighten all brake line fitting to the specified torques.
On vehicles equipped with rear drum brakes, loosely connect the flex hose tube nut to the wheel cylinder, and then secure the flex hose bracket to the brake support plate. After the flex hose bracket is secured to the brake support plate, tighten the flex hose to wheel cylinder tube nut to the specified torque. Then hand start the chassis tube nut to the opposite end of the flex hose. After chassis tube nut is hand started into flex hose attach the flex hose bracket to the rear frame rail. Then tighten the nut on the chassis brake tube to the specified torque. Following this procedure will reduce the potential for twisting the flex hose during the installation procedure.
Only double wall 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) steel brake line tubing, with Al-Rich/ZN-AL alloy coating should be used for replacement. Care must be taken when replacing brake tubing, to be sure the proper bending and Raring tools and procedures are used to avoid kinking. Do not route the tubes against sharp edges, moving components or into hot areas. All tubes should be properly attached with recommended retaining clips.
