Warning: On models equipped with ABS, before opening the hydraulic system, disconnect the accumulator and do not connect it until the bleeding work is completed and the reserve tank is filled with fluid. If this is not done, air can get into the ABS hydraulic system, which will require specialized diagnostic equipment to remove - you will have to contact your dealer for help.
Application: Before starting work, read the warnings at the beginning paragraph 2 about the toxicity of the brake fluid.
1. When replacing any tube or hose, to minimize brake fluid loss, remove the brake fluid reservoir cap. Place a circle of polyethylene or other sealing material between the reservoir neck and mouth and tighten tightly. Proceeding otherwise, you can pinch the corresponding hose to isolate part of the circuit. You can plug the brake pipe with a stopper (put a dust cap on it) (prevent dirt from entering the system) immediately after being disconnected. Place a rag or bowl under the detachable area to collect spilled liquid.
2. If you need to disconnect the hose, unscrew the nut connecting it to the tube before unhooking the spring clip securing the hose to the bracket. If it is needed. unscrew the connecting bolt of the hose to the caliper and remove the copper sealing washers. While removing the front slag, pull the spring clip and remove the rubber seal from the bracket.
3. To unscrew the pipe connections, you must purchase a special wrench of the right size. They are sold at many parts stores. Unscrewing stuck connection nuts with an open-end wrench can lead to rounding of the edges of the nut. In such situations, only the key can help "parrot" with self-biting sponges. After such options, the tube is replaced. A special key will help keep the handset. Always clean tubing connections. When disconnecting components with more than one connection, carefully inspect the remaining connections before deciding "where to start".
4. If tubing is being replaced, it can be purchased from your dealer in the required length, configuration, and split ends. However, you can also contact the workshop, where they will cut off a piece of the tube of the required length for you, flare the tips and, possibly, install the connecting nuts. But you will most likely have to bend it at the installation site. to you on your own. If you choose this path, carefully measure at least the length of the tube.
5. After the tube is installed, tighten the connection nut tightly, but do not overtighten - you can strip the threads. Hydraulic connection - not a training device for tightening exercises "to the creak".
6. When attaching the hose to the caliper, always use new copper sealing washers and tighten the connection hollow bolt to the specified torque. Install the hose so that it does not touch the suspension parts or wheels.
7. Check that the laying of pipes and hoses has been done correctly, all fasteners have been installed. After installation, remove the plastic circle from under the cover of the reserve tank. Bleed the system as described in paragraph 2. Wash off any traces of brake fluid and check for leaks before driving on the road.
