Brake Hose/Line: Testing and Inspection

BRAKE HOSES (Check for deterioration or leaks)
Inspection of brake hoses and tubing should be included in all brake service operations.

The hoses should be checked for:
1. Correct length, severe surface cracking, pulling, scuffing or worn spots. (If the fabric casing of the hoses is exposed by cracks of abrasion in the rubber hose cover, the hoses should be replaced. Eventual deterioration of hose may occur with possible bursting failure.)
2. Faulty installation, casing twisting or interference with wheel, tire or chassis.
