What It Helps Repair

• Cracked or aging front brake hose rubber
• Brake fluid seepage at hose fittings
• Soft or inconsistent brake pedal feel caused by hose deterioration
• Restricted brake fluid flow from internal hose wear
• Corrosion-related service issues at the hose connection points

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify fitment by year, make, model, and front position before installation. Confirm the banjo and inverted flare connection types, along with the 10.0 mm and M10-1.00 thread sizes, match the vehicle’s brake plumbing. Replace sealing components as required during brake hose service and bleed the brake system after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit.
