Brake Tubes & Hoses

Steel tubing is used throughout the brake hydraulic system. All brake tube fittings must be correctly flared to provide strong leakproof connections. When bending the tubing to fit the underbody or rear axle contours, be careful not to kink or crack the tube. If a section of brake tube is damaged, the entire section must be installed new with a tube of the same type, size, shape and length. When installing new hydraulic brake tubing, hoses, or connectors, tighten all connections securely. After new installation, bleed the brake system.
