Brake hoses and lines should be inspected at recommended intervals. To replace the front brake hose, disconnect the brake line from the hose fitting using a flare-nut wrench and a back-up wrench. Remove the U-clip from the female fitting at the bracket and detach the hose from the bracket. Unscrew the brake hose from the caliper and thread it into the caliper, tightening securely. Install the female fitting in the hose bracket without twisting the hose and secure it with the U-clip. Attach the brake line to the hose fitting using the flare-nut wrench and back-up wrench. Ensure there are no kinks in the hose and that it doesn't contact any part of the suspension. For the rear brake hose, disconnect the hose at the frame bracket using the flare-nut wrench and back-up wrench. Plug the line to prevent fluid loss and contamination. Remove the U-clip and separate the female fitting from the bracket. Disconnect the hydraulic lines at the junction block and remove the hose. Bolt the junction block to the axle housing and connect the lines securely. Install the female end of the hose in the frame bracket without twisting it and secure it with U-clips. Attach the steel line fittings to the female fittings using the flare-nut wrench and back-up wrench. Check the frame bracket for looseness and tighten if necessary. Fill the master cylinder reservoir, bleed the system, and test the brakes carefully before driving. When replacing brake lines, use the correct parts and avoid using copper tubing. Purchase steel brake lines and bend them to the proper shapes using the proper tubing bending tools. Ensure the new line is securely supported in the brackets and has sufficient clearance from moving or hot components. Finally, check the master cylinder fluid level, bleed the brake system, and test the brakes before driving in traffic.
