- Remove the rear tire and wheel assembly. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.
- Clean all dirt and foreign material from the brake hoses and brake pipe fitting.
- Use a backup wrench on the hose fitting, disconnect the brake pipes from the brake hose, then cap or plug the brake pipe fitting end.
- Remove the brake hose retaining clip (1) and (2) from the hose mounting brackets.
- Remove the hose (3) from the hose mounting brackets.
Important: Install a rubber cap or plug to the exposed brake pipe fitting end to prevent brake fluid loss and contamination.
Do not bend the brake pipes or the brackets.
Installation Procedure
- Install the brake hose (3) into the hose mounting brackets.
- Align the hose fitting with the notch in the bracket. Use the hose paint stripe as a visual aid.
- Install the retainer clips (1) and (2) onto the hose fittings at the brackets.
- Use a backup wrench on the hose fitting in order to connect the brake pipe to the brake hose. DO NOT bend the bracket or the pipe.
- Tighten the brake pipe fittings.
- Install the rear tire and wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.

- Bleed the hydraulic brake system. Refer to Hydraulic Brake System Bleeding .
There should not be any kinks in the hose.
Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
Tighten
Tighten the fittings to 27 N·m (20 lb ft).
