Each brake hose is manufactured for one type of brake and cannot be swapped, so only Mopar replacement brake hoses can assure you of quality, the exact length and resilience to fatigue. Make sure neither the tube nor the hose has scratches or burrs and use new copper seal washers under all banjo bolts as you hand-tighten the fittings to the necessary torques. To avoid stressing the flex hose during installation, secure its banjo fitting to the caliper initially, then link the hose to the brake tubing and finally secure both connections to the front frame rail at the given torque. Loosen the rear brake hose at its connection to the
Wheel Cylinder, attach the brake hose bracket to the strut, loosen the hose from the steel tube at the master cylinder and put the brake hose bracket against the body frame, making sure to tighten each tube nut at its end. For brakes attached to the rear axle, secure the brake hose banjo fitting to the caliper at first, then loosely fit the hose onto the steel tube emerging from the master cylinder, fit the brake hose bracket to the body and tighten the tube nut where the brake hose is connected to the steel tube from the master cylinder. To change brake tubing, use only 4.75 mm (3/16 inch) steel brake line with Nygal coating, as well as the correct tube nuts for replacement and take proper care when flaring and bending these tubes to reduce kinking.
