Brake Service Guide
|
Once the caliper is detached, do not let it hang by the brake hose. Tie it to the frame with no tension on the brake hose. We used mechanics wire. The sign of a poor mechanic is a caliper hanging by the brake line. Inspect the rubber brake lines for cracks and texture. Even though they may look good, over time the rubber becomes softened and allows the line to balloon out slightly as the brakes are applied. This decreases the amount of hydraulic pressure applied to the caliper and greatly impacts stopping ability. The brake hoses should be changed every few years, especially if you live in an urban area with a high ozone content in the atmosphere. View Related Article
