Acura 01464-SD4-020 Hose Set,Rear Front Brake

Inspect the flexible hoses that connect the steel brake lines to rear brakes and front calipers for cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters and more about every six months. If this is the case, replacement steel and flexible brake lines are widely available from dealer parts departments and auto parts stores; only use genuine steel lines or approved flexible brake hoses for replacements. If installing the brake line, make sure it leaves at least 0.75 inches (19 mm) between the line and parts that move or vibrate. To disconnect a hose and line, break loose the fitting of the hose to the brake line with a flare nut wrench, remove the clip and slide the hose out of the bracket. Normal wrenches are used on hose fittings when disconnecting two hoses, and ensure the hose fittings are not twisted or strained when the hoses are connected. Fixed brake lines are usually retained with clips, which should be fully removed prior to a fixed brake line being removed, and reinstalled or new clips if damaged, to support and minimize vibration which constantly leads to breakage. To replace brake lines, get the correct parts and never use copper tubing and buy steel brake lines from a dealer or an auto parts store. Make sure the steel line is well supported in the brackets with sufficient clearance of moving component. Install the master cylinder replacing it and close the bleeder valve if not already done then check the fluid levels in the master cylinder and add as necessary and bleed the brake system, then carefully test the brakes before taking the vehicle out in traffic.
