Pipes are used for the connections of the brake system, which, along with high-pressure brake hoses, provide a connection between the master brake cylinder and the four wheel brake mechanisms.
Brake hoses provide a flexible connection between the fixed and moving parts of the vehicle.
Caution: If brake pipes need to be replaced, only original, pre-prepared pipes from FORD should be used. Brake pipes should not be made or bent independently.
Removal
Raise the car onto the trestles.
Loosen the brake hose mount at the brake caliper or wheel brake cylinder, respectively, and disconnect the hose.
Use pliers to remove the retaining clips.
Disconnect the brake hose at the coupling that connects it to the brake line.
Close the connection point of the pipeline in the direction of the main brake cylinder with a suitable plug or first suck out the brake fluid from the expansion tank using a siphon.
Installation
Install only factory approved brake hoses and lines.
Tighten the new brake hose to the brake pipe with a torque of 20 Nm. Ensure this tightening torque for all other connections to fixed pipes as well.
Install the new brake hose so that when the wheels are in the straight-ahead position, it hangs down without twisting. Route the brake hose in the holder at the shock absorber strut and secure it with a clamp.
Screw the brake hose to the brake caliper with a new sealing gasket to a torque of 35 Nm, while the pin of the nipple must enter the hole of the brake caliper.
After installation, with the wheels unloaded (the car is raised), check that the hoses track all movements of the wheels without touching anything.
Caution: Brake hoses must not come into contact with oil or fuel or be coated with varnish or underbody anti-corrosion coating.
Remove air from the brake system.
Lower the car.
