Check the rubber hoses that join the steel brake lines to the front and rear brake assemblies once a year with the vehicle in the air and its safe support on jackstands to check the brake lines, cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters, and other damage as this is a very vital part of the brake system. Checking to ensure that there is no weak spot in a hose should also be done using light and mirror and any hose that looks worn should be replaced. In the case of the front brake hose, weaken the wheel bolts, lift the car and take off the wheel. Mark the location of small tabs on the hose fitting into the frame bracket so that they do not rotate. Install the hose fitting with an open-end wrench and install the brake line fitting with a flare-nut wrench to ensure that the nut is not rounded, ensuring that the spring on the hose fitting does not get lost. On the caliper end, a flare nut wrench is required to separate the hose fitting. Take the grommet out of the bracket at the lower end of the strut and push the hose. Installation of the new hose involves attaching the grommet on the hose and feeding it through the strut bracket and attaching the fitting to the caliper and tightening it. When inserting the fitting in the frame bracket, make sure that the hose is not twisted and then connect the line fitting and secure. In the case of the rear brake hose, unscrew the fitting of the hose, take care of the spring clip, and unscrew the hose of the caliper, and replace the sealing washers with new ones during reconnecting. Regarding the replacement of brake lines, genuine steel parts should be used and it is important to make sure that the new line is adequately supported and free of moving parts. Once installed, verify the level of fluid in the master cylinder, apply fluid when necessary and then be sure to bleed the brake system and then test the brakes thoroughly.
