Raise the end of the vehicle which contains the hose to be repaired, then support the vehicle safely using jackstands. Make sure to block the wheels still on the ground to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If necessary, remove the wheel for easier access to the hose.
Place a drain pan under the hose connections. First, disconnect the hose where it connects to the body bracket and steel tube.
Unbolt the hose bracket from the strut assembly.
Remove the bolt to disengage the banjo connection at the caliper.
To install:
Position the new hose, noting that the body bracket and the body end of the hose are keyed to prevent installation of the hose in the wrong direction. First, attach the hose to the banjo connector on the caliper.
Bolt the hose bracket, located in the center of the hose, to the strut, allowing the bracket to position the hose so it will not be twisted.
Attach the hose to the body bracket and steel brake tube.
Tighten the banjo fitting on the caliper to 19-29 ft. lbs. (26-39 Nm), the front hose-to-intermediate bracket to 75-115 inch lbs. (8-13 Nm), and the hose to brake tube to 115-170 inch lbs. (13-19 Nm).
Bleed the system thoroughly, referring to the procedure presented later in this section.
Install the wheel, if necessary.
Lower the vehicle and remove the wheel block(s).

Raise the end of the vehicle which contains the hose to be repaired, then support the vehicle safely using jackstands. Make sure to block the wheels still on the ground to prevent the vehicle from rolling.
If necessary, remove the wheel for easier access to the hose.
Place a drain pan under the hose connections. Disconnect the double nut (using a primary wrench and a back-up wrench) at the tube mounted on the floor pan.
Disconnect the hose at the retaining clip.
Disconnect the hose at the trailing arm tube.
To install:
Install the new tube to the trailing arm connection first.
Tighten the connection to 115-170 inch lbs. (13-19 Nm).
Making sure the hose is not twisted, connect it to the tube on the floor pan.
Again, tighten the connection to 115-170 inch lbs. (13-19 Nm).
