Every half year, preferably after lifting the car and supporting it on jack stands, look for flex hoses connecting the steel lines to the front and rear brake assemblies, cracks, frication bare, leaks, blisters, etc., are signs of a bad component. A thorough check can be done with the help of a light and a mirror; any defective hose must be replaced by a new one. Start by washing down all grime from the hose ends; then to free it from the brake line, use the metal tube nut in do away with the metal flare nut wrench, the U-clip at the female fitting at the bracket, and the hose out of the bracket. Subsequently, remove the hose from the caliper and dispose of the sealing washers flanking the fitting after which connect a new brake hose to the caliper or wheel cylinder using new sealing washers. To connect the hose to the metal line it must be put through the frame bracket without twisting and then the tube nut fitting should be tightened and U-clip to the frame bracket should be fitted. A few times ensuring that parts such as suspension or steering does not come in contact with the hose. When replacing brake lines, use the correct parts, do not use copper tubing, to buy steel brake lines from the dealer or auto parts store. Brake lines can be of prefabricated type with flared tube ends and with fittings installed and can be bent to the required shape by means of tubing bender. The new line should be well supported in the brackets especially in terms of clearance to avoid coming in contact with moving or hot part. After installation check the master cylinder fluid level and fill up where necessary ,then see that you bleed the brake system properly and when using the brake be very careful.
