Brake Piping And Hose: Inspection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
If leakage occurs around hose and tube connections, retighten or, if necessary, replace damaged parts.
- Check brake lines (tubes and hoses) for leaks, cracks, distortion, deformation, without interfering with other parts or loosening connecting parts, deterioration or other damage. Replace any damaged parts.
- Apply a stepping force of 784 N (80 kg-f, 176 lb-f) to the brake pedal with the engine running and keep it for about 5 seconds, then check each part for leaks.
