Hyundai 58732-21351 Hose-Brake

About every six months, it is important to inspect the flexible hoses that connect the steel brake lines with the rear brakes and front calipers for any cracks, chafing of the outer cover, leaks, blisters, or other damage. Replacement steel and flexible brake lines can be easily found at dealer parts departments and auto parts stores. It is crucial to only use genuine steel lines or approved flexible brake hoses as replacement items. When installing the brake line, ensure that there is at least 3/4-inch clearance between the line and any moving or vibrating parts. When disconnecting a hose and line, start by removing the spring clip and then use an open-end wrench to hold the hose and a flare nut wrench to hold the tube while unscrewing the fitting. The same wrenches should be used when reconnecting the hose and line, and a new clip should be installed. When disconnecting or connecting two hoses, make sure they are not bent, twisted, or strained. Steel brake lines are typically retained along their span with clips, so it is important to remove and reinstall these clips when replacing a brake line to provide support and prevent vibration that can lead to breakage.
