Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the end fittings, hose length, and vehicle application before installation. Because this hose uses a female thread SAE end and a banjo end, confirm the original routing and connection style on the vehicle before ordering. Inspect mating surfaces, replace worn seals as needed, and bleed the brake system after installation to remove air from the hydraulic circuit. For fitment reference, BH36646 is used on front brake applications for vehicles such as the 1971-1973 Chevrolet Impala and 1977-1978 Pontiac Firebird.
