Replacing brake pipes (Fusion)

The connections of the tubes with all brake system units and hoses, as well as the principles of their replacement, are the same. All tube nuts are made for an 11 mm wrench.

Note: The work is shown using the example of a tube connecting the brake cylinder of the left rear wheel to the hose.

1. For ease of work, remove the rear wheel from the side of the brake pipe being replaced.



2. Loosen the nut securing the tube to the brake cylinder of the left rear wheel and disconnect the tube.



3. Unscrew the nut securing the tube to the brake hose, holding the hose tip from turning with a second wrench..



4. …and disconnect the tube.



5. Install the new tube in the reverse order of removal.

6. After replacing the tube, bleed the air from the brake system (see "Bleeding the hydraulic brake system").
