Ford D6AZ-2265-G Brake Tube Assembly

For vehicles equipped with ABS, ensure immediate plugging of the brake line after disconnecting it from the brake hose to prevent fluid drainage and air entering the HCU, as the HCU on ABS systems cannot be bled without a costly tool. During inspection every six months, raise the vehicle, support it on jackstands, and thoroughly check the rubber hoses connecting steel brake lines to front and rear brake assemblies for damage like cracks, leaks, blisters, and chafing. If any issues are found, replace the hose with a new one. To replace the flexible hose, disconnect the brake line using a flare nut wrench, ensuring the frame bracket and brake line are not bent. Remove the retaining clip, detach the hose from the bracket and body, and promptly plug the metal brake line to prevent air from entering the system. Replace the banjo bolt on the caliper with new sealing washers. Connect the hose to the caliper using new sealing washers, without twisting the hose, and attach the other end to the chassis bracket. Tighten fittings securely using flare nut wrenches and ensure no kinks or contact with suspension components. For replacing metal brake lines, use correct steel parts, avoid copper tubing, and support the new line securely with ample clearance from moving or hot components. After installation, check the master cylinder fluid level, bleed the brake system, and test the brakes carefully before driving the vehicle in traffic.

About every six months, inspect the rubber hoses that connect the steel brake lines with the front and rear brake assemblies for cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters, and other damage. Use a light and mirror for a thorough check. If any hose exhibits these conditions, replace it with a new one. To replace a flexible hose, disconnect the brake line from the hose fitting using a flare nut wrench, being careful not to bend the frame bracket or brake line. If the fitting is tight, hold the fitting block with a wrench to prevent bending. Detach the hose from the bracket and body. Remove the banjo bolt from the caliper and discard the sealing washers. Connect the hose to the caliper using new sealing washers and tighten the banjo bolt. Connect the other end of the line to the chassis and install the bolt, leaving it slightly loose. Connect the brake line to the fitting block by hand, then tighten securely using a flare nut wrench. Tighten the bracket bolt securely. Ensure there are no kinks in the hose and that it doesn't contact any part of the suspension. For metal brake lines, use the correct parts and avoid copper tubing. Prefabricated brake lines with flared tube ends and installed fittings are available, or you can cut and flare the new tubing to match the line being replaced. Bend the line to the proper shape if necessary, ensuring it is securely supported in the brackets and has clearance from moving or hot components. After installation, check the master cylinder fluid level, add fluid if necessary, bleed the brake system, and test the brakes before driving.

About every six months, with the vehicle raised and securely supported on jackstands, inspect the rubber hoses connecting the steel brake lines to the front and rear brake assemblies for cracks, chafing, leaks, blisters, and other damage, as these are crucial parts of the brake system. Use a light and mirror for a thorough check, and replace any damaged hose with a new one. For front brake hose replacement, disconnect the brake line from the hose fitting using a back-up wrench, remove the U-clip from the female fitting at the bracket, and detach the hose. Unscrew the brake hose from the caliper or remove the union bolt and sealing washers, ensuring new sealing washers are used during reassembly. Install the new hose by threading it into the caliper and tightening securely, then install the female fitting in the hose bracket without twisting the hose, followed by the U-clip to retain the fitting. Attach the brake line to the hose fitting with a back-up wrench, ensuring no kinks in the hose and that it does not contact any suspension parts. For rear brake hose replacement on drum brake models, disconnect the hose at the frame bracket, remove the U-clip, and separate the female fitting from the bracket. Disconnect the two brake lines at the junction block, unbolt and remove the hose, then 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, secure it with U-clips, and attach the steel line fittings carefully. Ensure the frame bracket remains tight, fill the master cylinder reservoir, and bleed the system. For rear disc brake models, disconnect the steel line from the brake hose at the rear axle, remove the union bolt and sealing washers from the caliper, and take off the brake housing and bracket from the axle housing. Bolt the bracket and brake hose loosely to the axle housing, connect the steel line, and use new sealing washers to connect the brake hose to the caliper, tightening the union bolt to the correct torque. Securely tighten the bracket-to-axle housing bolt and steel brake line, then bleed the brakes. When replacing metal brake lines, use the correct parts, avoiding copper tubing, and purchase steel brake lines from a dealer or auto parts store. Prefabricated brake lines with flared tube ends and installed fittings are available, and when installing, ensure the line is securely supported in brackets with adequate clearance from moving or hot components. After installation, check the master cylinder fluid level, add fluid as necessary, bleed the brake system, and test the brakes carefully before driving in traffic.
