Removal and Installation

Always use factory recommended brake hose to ensure quality, correct length and superior fatigue life. Care should be taken to make sure that the tube and hose mating surfaces are clean and free from nicks and burrs. Front right and left side hoses are not interchangeable.
Connections should be correct and properly made. Use new copper seal washers on all connections using Banjo Bolts and tighten all fittings to their specified torques.
The flexible front hydraulic brake hose should always be installed on the vehicle by first attaching the Banjo connector to the caliper assembly. Then bolt the hose bracket to the front hub and bearing attaching bolt allowing the bracket to position the hose to prevent twisting. Attach the hose to the frame and steel brake tubing. Tighten all fittings to specified torque.
Install rear brake hoses first to the caliper assembly fluid fitting, then attach the bolt holding hose bracket to caliper assembly. This procedure will minimize the potential for the flex hose twisting upon installation. Attach the hose to the frame and steel brake tube. Tighten all fittings to specified torque.
