Brake Hose and Pipe Damage and Installation Condition Inspection

• Inspect the brake hoses, pipes and fittings for deterioration, cracks and signs of leakage.

The high pressure inside the brake line can cause fluid to leak [A] or the hose to burst if the line is not properly maintained.

Bend and twist the rubber hose while examining it.

• Replace the hose if any crack [B], bulge [C] or leakage is noticed.
• Tighten any brake hose banjo bolts.

Torque - Brake Hose Banjo Bolts: 25 NВ·m (2.5 kgfВ·m, 18 ftВ·lb)

• Inspect the brake hose routing.

If any brake hose routing is incorrect, run the brake hose according to Cable, Wire, and Hose Routing section in the Appendix chapter.
