The brake step in a machine is the affection and soul of its safety features. Without properly functioning brakes, Catastrophe is inevitable. Brakes call hydraulic impact to energy brake fluid into a trundle cylinder. The cylinder applies force to the brake rotor and pads, forcing the vehicle to cutoff. Repairing Supple brake lines can be done quite easily, however in most cases for dense lines, it is easier to simply alter the all-inclusive brake path.
Instructions
1. Bleed the brake fluid from the vehicle. There are two ways to act this. You can ajar the reservoir in the engine bay and siphon elsewhere the fluid. Or, you can remove the becoming on the brake caliper with an open-ended wrench and confess the fluid to remove. Let the fluid extract into a bucket and reinstall the caliper fitting provided it was removed.
2. Advantage an open-ended wrench to remove the compression becoming at Everyone head of the damaged brake line. Flexible brake lines are shorter and connect from a bracket to the brake calipers themselves. Hard lines are used along the length of the frame of the vehicle and connect the brake booster to the flex lines.
3. Remove the damaged brake line. This is the most difficult part of the procedure because of the location of some brake lines. Depending on the vehicle, manufacturers will place the brake lines inside the frame rails, between the frame and the body of the vehicle or in a tight crevice. Sometimes it is easier to leave the old line on the vehicle after you've disconnected it.
4. Repeat this step on any other brake line that was removed.
5. Attach the compression fittings to the new brake line. Use the brake line flaring tool to create the necessary lip on the end of the line and slide the fitting over top of the lip. This will create a vacuum tight seal for the brake line once it is installed. Repeat this step on both ends of the tubing.
6. Place the new piece of brake line into position. Use the open-ended wrench to attach the fittings at the front of the vehicle first. Position the brake line along the body and use zip ties to attach them to existing lines along the body. Attach the back end of the brake line in the same manner as the front.
7. Fill the brake reservoir with fluid. Remove the caliper fitting and have a friend pump the brake pedal to force all the air out of the lines. It will take several minutes of pumping to return full pressure to the line. Once a steady stream of fluid is coming out of the caliper, reinsert the fitting and tighten it down with an open-ended wrench. Travel to the auto store with a small piece of the old brake line. You will need a piece long enough to use as a reference for buying the new line and testing new compression fittings. The store employees should be able to help you identify the necessary pieces for your vehicle.
