  Q: How Should Flexible Hoses and Brake Line Be Inspected and Replaced?

  A: Flexible hoses should be inspected for cracks, chafing of the outer cover, leaks, blisters and other damage every six months with the vehicle raised and placed securely on jackstands. To disconnect a brake hose from the brake line, unscrew the metal tube nut with a flare nut wrench, then remove the U-clip from the female fitting at the bracket and remove the hose from the bracket. Disconnect the hose from the caliper, discarding the sealing washers on either side of the fitting and attach the new brake hose to the caliper using new sealing washers. To reattach a brake hose to the metal line, insert the end of the hose through the frame bracket, make sure the hose isn't twisted, then attach the metal line by tightening the tube nut fitting securely. Install the U-clip at the frame bracket and check to make sure the suspension or steering components don't make contact with the hose. When replacing brake lines, be sure to use the correct parts and purchase steel brake lines from a dealer parts department or auto parts store. Prefabricated brake line, with the tube ends already flared and fittings installed, is available at auto parts stores and dealer parts departments. After installation, check the master cylinder fluid level and add fluid as necessary and bleed the brake system. Test the brakes carefully before placing the vehicle into normal operation.
