Flex Hose, Front Passenger Side

A complete performance of front brake flexible hose repair begins with a NEUTRAL setting vehicle secured on a hoist. The use of approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid remains vital since other brake fluid types lead to permanent brake component harm and renders brakes inoperative which could cause personal injuries. When dealing with brake fluid definitely protect your eyes and paint and plastic surfaces from contact; immediately wash eyes using running water for 15 minutes followed by medical evaluation for continued irritation symptoms. Any encounter of brake fluid with painted or plastic surfaces requires immediate cleaning with water and it requires new pads if the fluid contacts brake pad adhesive backing. Brake parts cleaner must be used specifically since other residues might prevent brake pad-caliper bonding. Clean brake fluid serves to lubricate the brake caliper flow bolt threads as well as its washers before performing the bolt removal step. Use proper tools to remove the brake caliper flow bolt followed by discarding the two copper washers until you disconnect the brake line fitting from the brake flexible hose. Installation of the new parts begins with bolt and brake flexible hose removal. Assemble the new hose tightly to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs.) and tighten the brake line fitting to 18 Nm (13 ft. lbs.). To complete the job you need to perform the reverse removal steps followed by bleeding the brake system to ensure operations work correctly.

Bleed the brake system to complete the service.

Ensure that brake fluid does not contact the adhesive backing on the brake pads, as this will necessitate the installation of new pads.

Ensure the vehicle is in neutral and positioned on a hoist.

Only approved DOT 3 motor vehicle brake fluid should be used.

Handle with care, avoid contact with eyes, and wash hands thoroughly after handling.
