Inspect the flexible hydraulic brake hoses at least twice a year. The hydraulic brake hoses transmit hydraulic pressure to the calipers from the steel brake lines on the body.

1. Inspect the brake hoses for the following conditions:

-	Road hazard damage

-

Cracks

-	Chafing of the outer cover

-

Leaks

-

Blisters

-	Proper routing and mounting

-	Adequate inspection may require a light and a mirror.

2. If you observe any faulty conditions on a brake hose, replace the brake hose.
