• | Flexible brake hose transmit hydraulic pressure from the ridged
steel brake pipes on the body to the calipers at each wheel. Inspect the
brake system during tire rotation or every 7,500 miles (10 000 km),
whichever comes first. All brake pipes and hoses should be checked for road
hazard damage, cracks and chafing of the outer cover and for
leaks and blisters. A light and mirror may be needed for an adequate inspection.
If any of the above conditions are observed on a brake pipe or hose, replace
the affected pipe or hose. |
