If you notice signs of deterioration on the brake pipes or even cracks causing oil to leak, it is absolutely essential to replace these pipes. Lift the vehicle on a hydraulic lift or suitable car stands and remove the wheels to access the brake pipes.

Unscrew the fittings that secure the rubber pipe to the steel line and the brake caliper, taking care to manage any oil spillage. Install the new pipe, tightening the fittings securely and inserting new seals.

After installation, bleed the system using the bleed screw on the caliper, pumping the brake pedal to expel any air along with the old oil, and continue to fill the brake fluid reservoir with clean oil.
