Honda 01464-SJC-A00 Hose Set, Front Brake

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 01464-SJC-A00 fits your vehicle.

About every six months, the vehicle should be raised and placed securely on jackstands to inspect the flexible hoses which connect the steel brake lines with the front and rear brake assemblies. These hoses should be checked for cracks, chafing of the outer cover, leaks, blisters and other damage. A light and mirror will be needed for a thorough check. If a hose exhibits any of the above defects, replace it with a new one. To replace a hose, first clean all dirt away from the ends of the hose. Then, disconnect the brake hose from the brake line by unscrewing the brake line threaded fitting with a flare-nut wrench to protect the fitting corners from being rounded off, then pull off the U-clip. Disconnect the hose from the caliper, discarding the sealing washers on either side of the fitting. Using new sealing washers, attach the new brake hose to the caliper. To reattach a brake hose to the metal line, insert the end of the hose through the frame bracket, make sure the hose isn't twisted, then attach the metal line by tightening the tube nut fitting securely. Install the U-clip at the frame bracket. Carefully check to make sure the suspension or steering components don't make contact with the hose. Have an assistant push down on the vehicle and also turn the steering wheel lock-to-lock during inspection. Bleed the brake system. When replacing brake lines, be sure to use the correct parts. Don't use copper tubing for any brake system components. Purchase steel brake lines from a dealer parts department or auto parts store. Prefabricated brake line, with the tube ends already flared and fittings installed, is available at auto parts stores and dealer parts departments. These lines can be bent to the proper shapes using a tubing bender. When installing the new line, make sure it's well supported in the brackets and has plenty of clearance between moving or hot components. After installation check the master cylinder fluid level and add fluid as necessary. Bleed the brake system and test the brakes carefully before placing the vehicle into normal operation.
