Removing brake hoses (Focus Turnier 1)

First, unscrew the union nut of the brake pipe, then loosen the other end of the hose. Make sure that the pipe does not twist.

Most brake hoses are secured with a holder (metal bracket) to prevent slipping. When installing, do not forget about the holder.

When installing, first tighten the side with the external thread. Then secure the other side of the brake hose with the union nut.

Never install the brake hose twisted. You can tell if it is positioned correctly by a solid colored strip, rubber bead, or rubber profile along the hose.

If the brake pipes 2 and brake hoses 4 are connected to the chassis or body parts by a metal holder 3, the spring holder 1 must not be forgotten. A brake pipe spanner 5, which covers the entire pipe nut, is suitable for opening such a connection.

Bleed the brake system as described above.

Be sure to check whether the brake hose has the required free play even with shock-absorbing movements. If not, move the spacer accordingly. Check the free play again after a long ride.

This way the brake fluid won't leak out



If you disconnect the brake pipe (brake hose), the brake fluid will slowly leak out of the expansion tank. This will not happen if you loosen the bleed valve of the corresponding brake circuit and put on the bleed hose before work. Lower the free end of the hose into a clean container and press the brake pedal until it stops. Then fix the brake pedal to the floor with a wooden strip or a suitable weight. Now the feed holes in the master cylinder are closed - the brake fluid will not be able to leak out.
