How to replace the rear brake line on Buick Lucerne?

Question

Accepted Answer

The process starts by safely raising and supporting the vehicle before proceeding. Clean all debris from the brake hose and brake pipe fittings by removing the tire and wheel assembly. The exposed brake pipe fitting end requires installation of a rubber cap or plug to stop brake fluid from leaking and retaining contamination. The brake pipe fitting must be taken off the brake hose followed by using a flat-bladed tool to remove the brake hose retainer until the brake hose emerges from both the bracket and brake caliper. Then discard the two copper brake hose gaskets stuck on caliper or hose end. Secure the caliper bolt hole using a rubber plug to stop fluid leakages. After removing the rubber plug you must mount the brake hose bolt using new copper brake hose gaskets before installing it on the brake caliper with a torque of 40 n.m (30 lb ft). After checking the hose for proper alignment with no kinks or twists, mount it onto the bracket while restoring the retainer. Prevail by removing the rubber cap from the brake pipe fitting end before attaining a connection between brake pipe fitting and hose that requires a torque of 15 n.m (11 lb ft). The vehicle should remain stationary until a firm brake pedal stops the wheels from turning because air trapped in the brake system poses risks for failure. You must bleed the brake caliper at its bleeder screw followed by tire and wheel assembly installation and vehicle lowering.
