Checking the condition of the brake lines (Mitsubishi Galant 6)

1. Checking the condition of metal lines and flexible hoses of the brake system should be carried out on a regular basis in accordance with the schedule of current vehicle maintenance.

2. Metal brake lines laid under the bottom of the car are exposed to external influences and can be damaged by impacts from stones flying out from under the wheels of the car. As a result of deformation or twisting, the passability of the metal line can be partially or completely disrupted. Carefully inspect the tubes of both brake circuits, replace defective sections if necessary, bleed the hydraulic circuit.

3. Flexible brake hoses should be checked for cracks, swelling and signs of damage to the reinforcing shell. Defective hoses must be replaced without fail.

4. When disconnecting the brake system lines, pay special attention to maintaining cleanliness - wipe the nipple connectors thoroughly with a clean rag before releasing them - dirt or moisture entering the line may lead to a dangerous reduction in the vehicle's braking efficiency. Before installation, replaceable sections should be washed with clean brake fluid.

5. Ensure that the brake lines and their nipple connections are securely fastened in all provided intermediate fasteners.
