Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and the brake system is depressurized. Carefully remove the old brake hose, avoiding contamination of brake fluid. Verify that the new hose length and fitting types match the original equipment. Use appropriate tools to tighten fittings to manufacturer torque specifications. After installation, bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and confirm proper brake function. Since mounting hardware and brackets are not included, reuse existing components or source replacements as needed.
