Brake Hose/Line: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The brake tubes are steel with a corrosion-resistant nylon coating applied to the external surfaces.

The flex hoses used at each wheel brake are made of reinforced rubber with fittings at each end. The fitting at each front brake caliper is the banjo-type and requires a special banjo bolt and copper washers. The fitting at each rear brake caliper is a screw-in type fitting. Rear drum brake vehicles use a standard tube nut fitting at each wheel cylinder.
