It is necessary to inspect these rubber hoses every half a year to check if there are any cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters or other damages. It is important to point out that these hoses are one of the weak points of the brake system. In order to remove the front brake hose, it is necessary to loosen wheel lug nuts, raise the vehicle and securely support it on jackstands; unscrew the brake line fitting from the hose at the frame bracket using a flare-nut wrench. Take off U-clip from female fitting at bracket and pass hose through bracket. Remove banjo fitting bolt at caliper end and separate hose from caliper. To install hose, pass caliper fitting end through strut bracket and connect it to caliper using banjo bolt and copper washers. Insert metal support into strut bracket; once more insert U-clip. Route hose into frame bracket ensuring it is not twisted and connect brake line fitting. After installing clip and E-ring (if equipped), tighten this fitting securely. Bleed caliper, install wheel, lower vehicle and tighten lug nuts onto wheels safely. For rear brake hose follow similar steps as for removal and installation process too. When replacing brake lines with genuine steel brake lines ensure they are sufficiently supported in brackets with adequate clearance. After installation, check Master Cylinder fluid level, bleed Brake System and test brakes before driving vehicle.
