Brake hose: 1 – tips; 2 – copper gasket; 3 – rubber seal; 4 – spring clamp
The brake hose must be elastic, without tears or cracks. The hose must be firmly sealed in the tips. The threads of the hose tips must not be damaged. If the hose swells when you press the brake pedal, then the cord threads are torn. If any of these defects are found, the hose must be replaced. Replace the heavily crimped copper gasket.
1. Using a wrench to hold the brake hose from turning, unscrew the pipe union. Remove the spring clip.
2. Remove the rubber seal together with the hose from the bracket.
3. Unscrew the brake hose tip from the wheel cylinder and remove it. Plug the holes in the pipeline and wheel cylinder.
4. Install the hose in the reverse order of removal. When installing the hose, do not forget to install a copper gasket under the tip that attaches to the wheel cylinder.

5. When installing the hose, make sure it is not twisted. There is a colored strip on the hose for control.
6. The hose that supplies the working fluid to the brake mechanisms of the rear wheels is replaced in a similar manner.
7. After replacing the hose, add fresh brake fluid to the reservoir and bleed the brake hydraulic system.
