Installation Notes and Tips
Before installation, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported. Carefully remove the old brake hose, taking care to avoid brake fluid spillage. Use the included gaskets to ensure a proper seal on both fittings. Since mounting hardware and brackets are not included, reuse the existing components if they are in good condition. After installation, bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove any air and verify there are no leaks. Check the hose routing to prevent contact with moving parts or sharp edges.
