BRAKE LINE PRECAUTION

  1. TROUBLESHOOTING PRECAUTION

Note:

  • Since the brake lines are classified as 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 when removing or installing them.

  • When installing a brake tube grommet to the body, make sure that the brake line passes through the center of the grommet.

  • When installing a brake line or flexible hose, make sure that it is free from twists or bends.

  • If the cap 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, make sure that the brake line is not loose or pinched.

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

  • After installing a brake line or flexible hose, make sure that it does not interfere with any other components.

  • Do not allow brake fluid to adhere to any painted surface such as the vehicle body. If brake fluid leaks onto any painted surface, immediately wash it off.
