- Install prop rod on the brake pedal to keep pressure on the brake system. Holding pedal in this position will isolate the master cylinder from the hydraulic brake system and will not allow brake fluid to drain out of the brake fluid reservoir while the brake lines are open. This will allow you to bleed out the area of repair instead of the entire system.
- Raise and support the vehicle. Refer to Hoisting , Standard Procedure .
- Remove the appropriate line connector (1 or 6) from the junction block (2) located on the frame.NOTE:
The right brake line has three push type retainers, and the left brake line has only one push type retainer.
- Remove the brake line retainer clip(s) (7, left side shown in illustration)
- Remove the antilock sensor harness (1) from the routing clips (2) on the brake hose.
- Remove the banjo bolt (4) at the caliper.
