Brake Hose Inspection

Inspect the flexible hydraulic brake hoses at least twice a year. The hydraulic brake hoses transmit hydraulic pressure to the calipers from the steel brake pipes on the body.
1. Inspect the brake hoses for the following conditions:
^ Road hazard damage
^ Cracks
^ Chafing of the outer cover
^ Leaks
^ Blisters
^ Proper routing and mounting

Adequate inspection may require a light and a mirror.
2. If you observe any faulty conditions on a brake hose, replace the brake hose.
