BRAKE LINE PRECAUTION


  1. TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTION

    Note


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

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

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

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

    • Do not deform the bracket or the body when connecting a brake tube and flexible hose.

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

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

    • After installing a brake tube 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.

      *d Turn
      *e Flexible Hose
      *f Brake tube
      *g Clip

      Disconnecting:


      1. Hold the flexible hose with a wrench and disconnect the brake tube using a union nut wrench without deforming the brake tube.

      2. Remove the clip and disconnect the flexible hose.

    2. Connecting:


      1. Secure the flexible hose with a new clip. At this time, be sure to securely install the clip.

      2. Connect the brake tube using a union nut wrench without deforming the brake tube.

  3. CONNECTING brake tube AND WAY
