Rear Flexible Hose

  1. Install prop rod on the brake pedal to keep pressure on the brake system. Holding pedal in this position will isolate master cylinder from hydraulic brake system and will not allow brake fluid to drain out of brake fluid reservoir while brake lines are open. This will allow you to bleed out the area of repair instead of the entire system.
