* Since the brake lines are classified as critical safety related parts, be sure to disassemble and inspect the components if a brake fluid leak is found. If any abnormality is found, replace the component with a new one.
* When removing brake components, cover the brake line connections to prevent foreign matter, such as dust or dirt, from entering the lines.
* Do not damage or deform the brake lines when removing or installing them.
* When installing a brake tube grommet to the body, make sure that the brake line passes through the center of the grommet.

* If the cap of a flexible hose does not match the groove on the bracket, twist the hose slightly to insert it.
* Flexible hoses must be free from shock absorber oil, grease, etc.
* When installing a brake line to a plastic clamp, make sure that the brake line is not loose or pinched.
* Do not reuse any clips or plastic clamps removed from a flexible hose or brake line.
