How to Service and Repair Brake Lines Using the J 45405 Brake Line Flaring Kit on 2007 Cadillac SRX?

Question

Accepted Answer

When working on the brake pipes, use the J 45405 kit and be sure to protect yourself from brake fluid and always use double-walled steel brake pipes. Look over the section of brake pipe that needs to be changed, then free it from the retainers if necessary. If you cut the brake pipe, pick a good spot away from bends or mounts, measure for the right length, and add on the extra needed for the flares. Use 6. Make sure to cut the pipe straight using the J 45405's pipe cutter, and after that, strip the nylon off the pipe's end with the coating stripping blade in the kit. Shape the pipe in both directions with the de-burring tool from the J 45405, and put tube nuts onto the brake pipe. Make sure to wipe off any dirt from the brake pipe and J 45405 before fitting the correct die set into the die cage. Put the prepared end of the pipe through the dies from the back, tighten down the clamp, and choose the right mandrel to press with the J 45405 lever until the mandrel touches the dies. Carry out the same steps with the finishing cone before unscrewing the die clamp, pulling out the parts, and checking the flare's diameter and shape: If Shape the new brake line as required with the correct bending tool, be sure there is a clearance of 19 mm (3/4 in) from any moving parts, and use the correct unions to attach it. If you released the brake pipe from the retainers, put it back on them, bleed the brake system, and then look for leaks at the flares as the engine is running and brakes are used.
