Q: What is the importance of inspecting the flexible hoses that connect the steel brake line with the rear brakes and front calipers?
A: Inspect the flexible hoses that connect the steel brake line with the rear brakes and front calipers bi-yearly for damage using a light and a mirror. If any issues are found, replace the hose. When replacing steel line, use double-walled steel tubing and do not substitute it with copper tubing, as copper is prone to fatigue cracking and corrosion.
