REMOVAL
1) Raise and suitably support vehicle. Remove tire and wheel.
This operation is not necessary when removing pipes connecting master cylinder and flexible hose.
2) Clean dirt and foreign material from both hose end or pipe end fittings. Remove brake hose or pipe.
INSTALLATION
1) Reverse removal procedure for brake hose and pipe installation procedure.
For installation, make sure that steering wheel is in straightforward position and hose has no twist or kink. Check
to make sure that hose doesn't contact any part of suspension, both in extreme right and extreme left turn condi-
tions. If it does at any point, remove and correct. Fill and maintain brake fluid level in reservoir. Bleed brake sys-
tem.
2) Perform brake test and check installed part for fluid leakage.
