TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTION
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 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 bends.
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.
Do not allow brake fluid on any painted vehicle body surface. If brake fluid leaks onto a painted surface, immediately wash it off.
When disconnecting and connecting a flexible hose and brake line:
While holding the flexible hose with a wrench, disconnect the brake tube using a union nut wrench (10 mm) without deforming it.
Remove the clip and disconnect the flexible hose.
Secure the flexible hose with a new clip. At this time, be sure to securely install the clip.
Using a union nut wrench (10 mm), connect the brake tube without deforming it.
When connecting a brake line and way:
While supporting the way to prevent the brake tubes from being deformed, connect each brake tube with a union nut wrench (10 mm).
While supporting the way to prevent the brake lines from being deformed, install the way to the vehicle body with the bolt.
