Warning: On models with ABS, disconnect the battery before starting work to prevent air from entering the ABS module.
Replacement
1. To reduce brake fluid loss, remove the cap of the brake fluid reservoir and seal the filler neck with plastic wrap or pinch the appropriate brake hoses.
2. When removing the flexible hose, unscrew the connection nut and remove the hose from the fittings.
3. To remove the brake tube, unscrew the union nuts at the ends of the tube and remove the tube from the mounts.
4. When installing, do not overtighten the connection nuts.
5. When connecting the hoses to the calipers, use new copper washers and tighten the banjo connection bolts to the correct torque.
6. Check that the hoses and tubes are routed correctly and are not kinked or pinched.
