To perform repair work on replacing the rear brake hose, you will need a special key for brake pipe fittings.
Removal
1. Prepare the car for repair work (see points 2b and 4 "Preparing a car for maintenance and repair").
2. Clean the connection of the brake hose tip and the brake tube from dirt and corrosion. Treat the tube bleed nipple with WD-40 penetrating lubricant.
Warning: When performing the following operation, make sure that when unscrewing the nipple, the tube does not rotate with it. If the tube is stuck in the nipple, replace it.
3. Holding the upper end of the hose from turning with a 15 mm open-end wrench, use a special wrench to loosen the tightening of the tube fitting.
4. Finally, unscrew the brake bleed nipple using a 10 mm open-end wrench.
5. To prevent brake fluid leakage, place a protective cap on the end of the brake pipe for the bleed nipple of the working cylinder.
6. Remove the upper end of the brake hose from the hole in the bracket installed on the rear suspension arm bracket.
7. In a similar manner, we release the lower end of the brake hose, removing it from the hole in the bracket installed on the rear axle beam.
8. Remove the rear brake hose from the car.
Installation
1. Install the rear brake hose and all removed parts on the vehicle in the reverse order of removal.
2. Remove air from the brake system (see "Bleeding brakes (brake system), brake fluid replacement").
