Removing and installing brake hoses (Mondeo 3)

ORDER OF EXECUTION

First, unscrew the union nut of the brake pipe, then release the other side of the hose. Make sure that the pipe does not twist.
Most brake hoses are protected from slipping by a hose holder (metal bracket). Do not forget about it when installing.
When installing, tighten the outer threaded side first, then the union nut.
Never install the hose in a twisted state. Correct fit can be recognized by the colored stripes, rubber sprues or rubber profile running along the hose.
After installation, bleed the brake system as described above.

Be sure to check that the new hose has adequate movement when moving the spring. If not, move the spacer holder. Check the movement again after a long ride.

If the brake pipes 2 and brake hoses 4 are connected to the metal holder 3, then the elastic hose holder 1 is not necessary. To disconnect such a connection, a brake hose key 5 is used, which completely covers the pipe nut.

Needs clearance (arrow) when damping: brake hose.
