Brake Line, Repairing

Brake Line, Repairing

Flare the brake lines with 5 mm outer diameter using the Flaring tool (VAS 6056) without damaging the coating. In this way, brake lines can be inexpensively partially replaced in certain cases.

Working with brake line kit (VAG 1356) is NOT permitted because of the coating and diameter of the black brake lines.

• Brake lines must not be bent more than 90 degrees, otherwise they kink or deform causes unacceptable constriction in the line.

• Disconnect the brake lines preferably at the vehicle floor.

• Position of intermediate pieces should be selected so that they cannot rub against moving parts.

• Do not lubricate the spindle, clean only with mineral spirits.
