Brake pipes and hoses — inspection and replacement (Honda Civic 3)

1. Inspect tubes and hoses every six months. Cracks, damage to the braid, fluid leaks and other damage should be repaired immediately

2. It is better to entrust the replacement of tubes to service station personnel.

3. When installing new pipes, ensure that the gap between the pipes and the moving parts of the car is at least 19 mm.

4. To replace hoses and tubes, first remove the spring clips. Then, holding the nut on the hose with a wrench, unscrew the tube nut.



5. When connecting the hoses, make sure that they are not twisted.

6. The brake pipes are held along their entire length by clamps. Before removing the pipes, remove all clamps. When installing the pipes, be sure to secure them with all clamps to avoid the pipe breaking fairly quickly due to vibration.

7. Never use copper tubes, only steel ones.

8. When laying pipes, maintain clearances between them and moving parts.

9. Check the fluid level in the brake reservoir. Top up if necessary. Bleed the system. Check the brakes on a closed area.
