Every six months or about every 6000 miles, with the vehicle jacked and properly supported on jackstands, check the rubber flexible steel brake hose connecting the hard lines to the front and rear brake assemblies as these are an important part of the brake system; and examine the flexible rubber hose for crack, wear, abrasion, swell or blisters. It's also advisable to use a light and arguably a mirror when checking, besides changing any hose that appears to be worn out. To replace the front brake hose, the wheel lug nuts shall be loosened and the vehicle shall be raised and the wheel has to be removed. Loosen the brake line fitting on the hose with the flare-nut wrench, so as not to round off the corners; unscrew the U-clip from the female fitting at the bracket and move the hose through it. At the caliper end, unbolt the banjo-fitting bolt, and then split the hose, ensuring replacing the two copper sealing washers on reapair. As for the outlet of the hose, separate it from the strut bracket, while to secure a new hose, incorporate the caliper fitting end through the strut bracket, screw it to the caliper via a banjo bolt together with new sealing washers, ensure the locating lug is engaged to the washer, and then tighten the bolt to the initially set torque. Insert the metal support into the strut bracket, whilst doing so, fit the U-clip to prevent twisting of the hose. Take the hose into the frame bracket, couple brake line fitting & over tighten, if necessary. After bleeding the caliper, fit the wheel and lug nuts, then lower the car and finally tighten the lug nuts to the standard torque. In case of the rear brake hoses, perform the described actions together with bleeding the caliper, if required. When replacing metal brake lines, get the right parts; avoid using copper tubing and get the genuine steel brake lines. Flared ends brake lines that already contain fittings can also be bought from auto parts stores. New line must be firmly fixed to avoid contact with moving or hot parts, check whether master cylinder has sufficient depth of fluid, add the fluid if necessary, and then bleed brake system and test the car's brakes before taking it for a road test.
