Brake Hose Replacement

NOTE:

Do not spill brake fluid on the vehicle; it may damage the paint; if brake fluid gets on the paint, wash it off immediately with water.
To prevent dripping, cover disconnected pipe joints with rags or shop towels.
Before reassembling, check that all parts are free of dust and other foreign particles.
Replace parts with new ones whenever specified to do so.
