What is brake hose replacement?
Cracked or swollen brake hoses are replaced to keep your brake pedal firm and safe.
Flexible brake hoses connect the solid lines to the calipers. Rubber ages, cracks and can balloon under pressure. A failed hose can leak fluid suddenly.
Signs you need it
- Visible cracks or bulges on the hose
- Spongy brake pedal
- Fluid leak near a wheel
How it works
- Remove the old hose
- Fit the new hose
- Bleed the brakes
- Test pedal feel
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.
