Inspecting Brake Hoses and Lines

Gently bend the hoses to check for cracks, and make sure that they are routed correctly to avoid chafing or kinking. Inspect the unions and the brake calipers for signs of fluid leaks. Inspect the lines for corrosion, dents, or other damage. Replace faulty hoses or lines as described in BRAKES.

WARNING-

Incorrect installation or overtightening hoses, lines, and unions may cause chafing or leakage, leading to partial or complete brake system failure.
