BRAKE LINE PRECAUTION


  1. TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTION

    Note


    • Since the brake lines are critical safety related parts, be sure to disassemble and inspect the components if a brake fluid leak is found. If any abnormality is found, replace the component with a new one.

    • When removing brake components, cover the brake line connections to prevent foreign matter such as dust or dirt from entering the lines.

    • Do not damage or deform the brake lines during the removal and installation procedures.

    • When installing a grommet to the vehicle body, ensure that the brake line passes through the center of the grommet.

    • When installing a brake line or flexible hose, ensure that they are free from twists or kinks.

    • If the metal end of a flexible hose does not match the groove on the bracket, twist the hose slightly to insert it.

    • Flexible hoses must be free from shock absorber oil, grease, etc.

    • When installing a brake line to a plastic clamp, ensure that the brake line is not loose or pinched.

    • Do not reuse any clips or plastic clamps removed from a flexible hose.

    • After installing a brake line or flexible hose, ensure that they do not interfere with any other components or vehicle body.

    • Do not allow brake fluid on any painted vehicle body surface. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately wash it off.

      *b Turn

      1. Support the way to prevent deformation of the brake line and connect the brake line to the way with a union nut wrench.

      2. Support the way to prevent deformation of the brake line and install the bolt to secure the way to the vehicle body.
