Question 1

How to replace the brake line using the J 45405 Pipe Flaring Tool Kit on Buick LaCrosse?

Accepted Answer

Replace the brake pipe using J 45405 (J 45405) Pipe Flaring Tool Kit and practice brake fluid safety measures while working with double-walled steel brake pipes to avoid system failure. First check the damaged brake pipe section and unlatch it from its retainers. To replace the brake pipe use its length plus 6.35 mm (0.250 in) of additional flare length, which requires 0.250 inches (6.35 millimeters) of flare space to terminate 3/16 inch (4.76 millimeter) diameter pipe. Use the J 45405 pipe cutter to produce a precise cut exactly at the measured length on the brake pipe. Apply proper brake pipe sizes and tube nuts before using the J 45405 coating stripping tool to remove nylon coating from flare points. Use built-in kit tools to chamfer both pipe diameters for smooth connections. Begin by setting up the tube nuts then cleaning all particles from the pipe and die tool J 45405 before using tools to flare the pipe. Put the prepared pipe end into the dies then fasten the clamping screw and create the flare through the forming mandrel. Examine the flare after forming to confirm that its dimensions match industry standards for 4.76 mm (3/16 inch) pipes. The flare should maintain a diameter range from 7.10 to 7.28 mm (0.279 to 0.283 inches). Flare the pipe according to specifications then install it with unions while keeping space of 19mm (3/4in). Secure both ends to retaining hardware before bleding the brakes and checking for leaks during engine run.

Question 2

How to replace the rear brake line on Buick Enclave?

Accepted Answer

The first step for replacing the rear brake hose involves lifting and supporting the vehicle. First clean all dirt off the brake pipe fitting before removing both tire and wheel assembly. The back up wrench maintains the brake hose fitting as you disconnect the brake pipe fitting while you securely cap both ends to avoid brake fluid loss and contaminations. Begin by discarding the 2 brake hose fitting gaskets and brake hose fitting bolt after removing the brake hose bracket bolt . Begin installation of the brake pipe by positioning the brake hose fitting bolt and two new brake hose fitting gaskets to the brake hose. After installing the brake hose assembly to the caliper you must apply 50 Nm (37 lb ft) of torque to the brake hose fitting bolt for proper assembly. Secure the brake hose bracket bolt with 9 Nm (80 lb in) torque. Link the brake pipe fitting to the brake hose fitting with a back up wrench while tightening it to 17 Nm (13 lb ft). The last step includes bleeding the hydraulic brake system followed by tire and wheel assembly installation.

Question 3

How to replace the front brake line on Buick Regal?

Accepted Answer

Before replacing the front brake hose elevate the vehicle properly and place support stands under it. Take off the front wheel and tire before cleaning all foreign particles off the brake hoses and fittings. Put a second wrench on the hose fitting to disconnect the brake pipe from the brake hose without harming either part. Unclip the metal holder and easily slide out the hose. Take off the brake hose bolt and attachment pieces except for the washers which should be discarded. You should connect the brake hose caliper bolt , the hose , and two new washers onto the caliper unit. Use only new washers during installation. Add brake fluid onto the bolt threads before turning the brake hose caliper bolt to 54 Nm (40 ft. lbs.). Apply brake hose to bracket and position it right before inserting the hose connector into the bracket notch following the hose paint strips. Fasten the retainer at the hose connection point on the bracket then use a back up wrench to secure the brake pipe with the hose. Prevent bracket and pipe flexion during this step. Tighten the tube nut on the brake pipe to 15 Nm. Put back the front tire and wheel but keep the hose away from suspension parts when turning sharply; replace the hose when it touches the suspension parts. Complete the steps by putting the vehicle down and letting air escape from the brake system.
