Brake Hose Inspection

The flexible hydraulic brake hoses transmit hydraulic pressure from the steel brake lines on the body to the calipers. Inspect the hoses at least twice a year. Inspect the hoses for the following conditions:
^ Road hazard damage
^ Cracks
^ Chafing of the outer cover
^ Leaks
^ Blisters
^ Proper routing and mounting
Use a light and mirror for an adequate inspection. Replace any brake hoses with any of the above conditions.
