Removal (Front)

  1. Raise and support the vehicle. Remove the tire and wheel assembly. Clean all dirt and foreign material from the brake hose end and brake pipe fitting. See Fig 1.
  2. Install a rubber cap or plug to the exposed brake pipe fitting end in order to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination. Use a backup wrench on the brake hose fitting end, disconnect the brake pipe fitting end from the brake hose, then cap or plug the brake pipe fitting end. Remove the brake hose retaining clip from the brake hose mounting bracket.
  3. Remove the brake hose bracket bolt from the upper control arm. See Fig 2. Remove the brake hose bracket bolt from the steering knuckle.
  4. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper. See Figure. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper housing or the brake hose end.
