Attention. Fixed brake lines made of metal must be installed at a workshop, as this requires professional skills for a qualified installation.
For the implementation of flexible connections between fixed and movable structural elements, for example, in calipers, brake hoses are used. If there is noticeable damage, the hoses must be replaced.
Attention. Brake hoses must not come into contact with oil or fuel. Also, do not cover the brake hoses with varnish or other protective compounds.
Withdrawal
Attention. Observe the rules for handling brake fluid.
Raise the vehicle.
Unscrew the bolts and remove the brake caliper.
To reduce the loss of brake fluid, remove the cap from the reservoir of the brake system, close the neck of the reservoir with polyethylene and screw the cap back on. This is necessary so that the lid hermetically closes the replenishment tank.
Release the brake hose from the guide and bracket.
Clean the area around the brake hose connectors and unscrew the brake hose. Close the holes in the caliper and brake line with suitable plugs.
Installation
When installing, use brake hoses recommended by the manufacturer.
Install a new brake hose without twisting it and tighten the brake hose couplings to 15 Nm.
Turning the steering wheel from lock to lock, check that the brake hose moves freely and does not come into contact with the elements of the front suspension and bodywork.
Install the support.
Remove the polyethylene from the filler neck of the replenishment tank and bleed the appropriate brake circuit.
Lower the car to the ground.
Finally, make a few stops on a street with little traffic.
