Caution: Refer to Brake Fluid Irritant Caution in the Preface section.

Caution: Always use double-walled steel brake pipe when replacing brake pipes. The use of any other pipe is not recommended and may cause brake system failure. Carefully route and retain replacement brake pipes. Always use the correct fasteners and in the original location for replacement brake pipes. Failure to properly route and retain brake pipes may cause damage to the brake pipes and brake system resulting in personal injury.

Notice: Refer to Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice in the Preface section.

Important: Brake pipes that run parallel to each other must maintain a 6 mm (1/4 in) clearance.

1. Disconnect the brake pipe fittings.
2. Remove the brake pipe fasteners from the vehicle.
3. Remove the brake pipe from the vehicle.

1. Bend the brake pipe to achieve proper fit.
2. Install the brake pipe to the vehicle. Maintain a clearance of 19 mm (3/4 in) for all moving or vibrating components.
3. Install the brake pipe fasteners to the vehicle.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

4. Connect the brake pipe fittings.

Tighten

•	Tighten the brake pipe fittings to the BPMV or the wheel jounce hoses to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

•	Tighten the brake pipe fittings to the master cylinder to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

5. Bleed the hydraulic brake system. Refer to Antilock Brake System Automated Bleed Procedure in Antilock Brake System.
