1. Before removing the brake line or hose, unscrew the filler cap of the master cylinder reservoir and completely fill the reservoir. Place a piece of polyethylene on the filler neck and secure it with a rubber band. This will limit the loss of brake fluid during the following steps.

3. To remove the flexible brake hose, unscrew the union nut that secures the rigid tube to the end of the flexible hose. Remove the mounting bracket and pull the hose out of the suspension. Unscrew the remaining end, release the mounting brackets or suspensions, and remove the hose from the vehicle. Installation is performed in the reverse order (photo).
