Brake Lines and Hoses

Steel tubing is used throughout the brake hydraulic system. All brake tube fittings must be correctly double flared to provide strong leakproof connections. If a section of brake tube is damaged, the entire section must be removed and a new tube of the same type, size, shape and length installed. When installing new hydraulic brake lines, hoses, or connectors, tighten all connections securely. After installation, bleed the brake system.
