Brake Caliper Supporting To Prevent Hose Damage Notice
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 249 other vehicles, including the 2004 Saturn Vue, 2004 Saturn L300, 2004 Saturn Ion Red Line, 2004 Saturn Ion 3, and 2004 Saturn Ion 2. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE:
Support the brake caliper with heavy mechanic's wire, or equivalent, whenever it is separated from its mount & the hydraulic flexible brake hose is still connected. Failure to support the caliper in this manner will cause the flexible brake hose to bear the weight of the caliper, which may cause damage to the brake hose & in turn may cause a brake fluid leak.
