Flex Hose, Center

Service and repair of the brake flexible hose begins by taking off the wheel and tire. The brake flexible hose requires a brake tube fitting removal during which you should torque the fitting to 13 lb-ft (18 Nm) before final installation. The procedure calls for caliper flow bolt removal and discard of two copper washers which must be replaced with new washers at installation time with 34 Nm (25 lb-ft) torque setting. Service of the brake flexible hose requires first removing its bracket bolt then removing the hose while you fasten the bolt to 12 Nm (9 lb-ft) torque upon reinstallation. For the conclusion of the repair process follow the procedure in reverse while performing a bleeding operation on the brake caliper. The system requires fresh brake fluid matching manufacturer requirements because using drained fluid can harm the system through contamination and damage. Follow proper safety measures to stop brake fluid from touching painted or plastic surfaces since such contact could result in damage until the area receives immediate water wash. Brake fluid emergency medical information can be obtained by dialing 1-800-959-3673 in the USA or Canada while the MSDS product document provides further details.
