Question 1

How to Replace the Brake Line on Dodge Intrepid?

Accepted Answer

All bolt-on brake tubes on this car are connected using Iso Style Tubing Flares at all points except for the one between the rear proportioning valve and flex hose which is attached by a double inverted flare. When changing the chassis brake tubes, only double wall 4.75mm (3/16 inch) steel with the Prokote 2000 coating should be used. It is necessary to bend and flare brake tubing correctly and avoid guiding it against rough or heated areas, to avoid kinks during replacement. All tubes should be fastened with the proper clips and bolts and you should make sure the flexible hose between the master cylinder, junction block or antilock control unit remains protected. Take off the damaged section of the brake line tube with a Tubing Cutter, Special Tool C-3478-a or similar and make sure to ream out the inside so the flared tube ends seat well. Before flaring, be sure to put the tube nut over the tubing. For all service procedures, you must use 4.75 mm metric size tubing together with metric Iso tube flaring equipment. Iso style metric tubing flares can be made using Snap-On Flaring Tool Tfm-428 or an alternative. Make sure the end of the tubing is square and that it doesn't have any burrs before flaring it. Align the two jaws of the Flaring Tool with the tubing, but do not lock them before you run the tool. Lay the tubing so that it is in line with the top surface of the flaring tool bar assembly. Attach the suitable sized adaptor over the yoke assembly feed screw, so that it sits right over the opening of the brake line. Before tightening the adapter, coat the place where the adapter meets the brake tubing with rubber lubricant. Once all adjustments are made, tighten the screw enough so that the adaptor seats squarely on the bar assembly to finish a metric Iso tubing flare.

Question 2

What Type of Brake Line Flares Are Used at Chassis Connections on Dodge Intrepid?

Accepted Answer

All the brakes on this vehicle rely on Iso Style Tubing Flares at every chassis brake tube location except the rear proportioning valve which connects to the flex hose with a Sae double inverted flare. When changing your chassis brake tubes, only 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) double wall steel tubing should be used. A zinc and aluminum alloy (Prokote 2000) coats the brake pipes in the chassis, so the replacement must also use a coated tube. Only use the right type of flaring tool and process when attaching brake tubes to ensure your car's hydraulic brakes are safe. Before you flare and cut the end of the brake line tubing, first use your Tubing Cutter, Special Tool C-3478-A or similar, to remove the old seat on the tubing. Work out any burrs on the inside of the tubing for a clean square end that fits well with the flared part of the flared nut. Remember to attach a tube nut to the tubing before you begin to flare. While conducting service work, be sure to fit metric Iso tube flaring equipment to 4.75 mm tubing. To create an (Iso tube) flare, use the Snap-On Flaring Tool Tfm-428 or a similar product. At the tubing's end, ensure it is squared and has no burrs to improve the final surface. Use the Flaring Tool's jaws to surround the tubing, close them together, but do not lock the tubing. Ensure that the interior of the tubing is right against the top of the flaring tool bar assembly. Put the proper size adaptor on the yoke's feed screw, so that it fits in the middle of the brake tubing. Work lubricant onto the portion of the adapter that touches the brake tubing and push the adapter all the way inside the brake tubing. Adjust the screw on the yoke assembly so that the adaptor is sitting level on the bar assembly, ending in the creation of an Iso tubing flare.
