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.
The flexible front hydraulic brake hose should always be installed on the vehicle by first attaching the banjo connector to the caliper assembly. Then bolt the intermediate hose bracket to the strut assembly allowing the bracket to position the hose to prevent twisting. 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, install the rear brake hoses first to the wheel cylinders and then attach the hose bracket to the body. On vehicles equipped with rear disc brakes, attach the brake hoses to the caliper first and then attach the brake hose bracket to the body. Following this procedure will reduce the potential for twisting the brake hose during installation.
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, 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.
