kink.
Brake Hose and Pipe InspectionS6RW0D4106009
Hose
The brake hose assembly should be checked for road
hazard damage, for cracks and chafing of outer cover,
for leaks and blisters. A light and mirror may be needed
for an adequate inspection. If any above conditions are
observed on brake hose, it is necessary to replace it.
Pipe
Inspect the pipe for damage, cracks, dents and
corrosion. If any defect is found, replace it.
