Q: What Is Involved in Brake line Inspection and Replacement?
A: Brake hose inspection involves raising the vehicle and inspecting the rubber hoses for damage. If any hose is damaged, it should be replaced. The metal brake line should be disconnected and the banjo bolt at the caliper unscrewed. The new brake hose should be attached, ensuring the use of new sealing washers. The hose should be connected to the bracket on the chassis and the metal line to the hose fitting. When replacing metal brake lines, the correct parts should be used and the fittings tightened securely. The master cylinder fluid level should be checked and the brakes bled. Brake operation should be tested before resuming normal operation.
