Rear Brake Flexible Hose: Removal

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Lincoln Navigator. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Do not allow the brake fluid to come in contact with the adhesive backing on the brake pads. This may prevent the brake pad adhesive surface from bonding with the brake caliper. If brake fluid is spilled onto the brake pads, install new pads.

NOTE: If the fluid is spilled on the paintwork, the affected area must be immediately washed down with cold water.

NOTE: Make sure all openings are sealed.

NOTE: Removal steps in this procedure may contain installation details.
