Question 1

How to Service and Repair the Brake Line Using the J 45405 Pipe Flaring Tool Kit on GMC Acadia?

Accepted Answer

Use J 45405 to work with brake pipes when following all safety instructions related to brake fluid chemicals and double-wall steel pipes for safe repairs. First inspect the defective brake pipe section then free it from the retainers when needed. Take a measurement of the replacement pipe length along with its bends and add flare components. Cut the final end at 90 degrees for smooth flaring. Cut the brake pipe using your J 45405 tool pipe cutter and remove the measured segment from the vehicle. Take brake pipe components that fit the application and use the J 45405 coating stripping and de-burring tools to prepare ends for flaring. Clean all parts of the brake pipe and J 45405 before proceeding with the flaring process. Place the ready pipe into the dies and secure them with the clamping screw while forming a flare through the mandrel action. Inspect the flare results and adjust new pipe shape if needed. Connect the pipe to the vehicle with correct unions after completing the flare process. After securing brake pipe onto retainers bleed the hydraulic brake system and test for leaks as you press brakes with running engine.

Question 2

How to Service and Repair Brake Lines Using the J 45405 Pipe Flaring Tool Kit on GMC Yukon?

Accepted Answer

You need the J 45405 Pipe Flaring Tool Kit (J 45405) to fix brake pipes and should use double-walled steel brake pipe because single-layer pipes lead to brake system failures. First examine the brake pipe area and take off its retainers as necessary. In order to cut the brake pipe choose a reliable area that is free of bends and mountings to work in then measure the needed replacement length by summing up 6.35 mm (0.250 in) for 4.76 mm (3/16 in) pipes plus 9.50 mm (0.374 in) for 6.35 mm (1/4 in) pipes. Use the J 45405 (J 45405) device to cut the brake pipe straight and take out the sectioned segment. Insert tube nuts of the right size and use included J 45405 (J 45405) to strip nylon coating from one end. Use the same tool to chamfer inside and outside diameter surfaces of the sectioned brake pipe. Connect the tube nuts to the brake pipe then clean both the tube and J 45405 device. Finally loosen the die clamp screw. Adjust the die cage to accept the right die size and place the prepared pipe end inside before using the J 45405 (J 45405) lever to create the flare. Use a suitable brake pipe bending tool to form the new pipe when needed and check for proper flare shape and diameter before attaching it to the pipe assembly with brake pipe unions that should be placed 19 mm (3/4 in) away from all moving hardware. Connect the brake pipe to retainer elements then bleed the brake system hydraulic system before observing if fluid leaks from the brake pipe flares.

Question 3

How to remove and replace the Brake Line and its reservoir hose on GMC Sierra 1500?

Accepted Answer

Begin by turning off the ignition and disconnecting the key because it takes between 1-3 minutes for the brake modulator and hpa to relieve pressure through the brake pedal application process. Wait for the pressure relief to finish before emptying the brake fluid from the master cylinder reservoir through the reservoir supply hose fitting and disposing of the brake fluid into an approved waste container. Disconnect these three components from the Brake Master Cylinder reservoir return hose quick connect and supply hose quick connect and Brake Fluid Level Sensor electrical connector. Lift and stabilize the vehicle while taking out the left front wheelhouse liner. The abs module splash shield retainer is the first item to remove before you proceed to the abs module splash shield bolts and finally the splash shield. The bpmv assembly and hose fittings need cleaning before removing the bpmv supply hose quick connect and applying caps to the inlet port with plugging of the supply hose to prevent brake fluid loss. After disconnecting the bpmv return hose quick connect you should cap the outlet port while plugging in the return hose. Remove the supply and return hoses from their supportive hardware and remove them from the vehicle framework. Proceed with attachment by connecting vehicle supply and return hoses to their retainers while ensuring bpmv return hose quick connect maintains full engagement with supply hose quick connect . After mounting the abs module splash shield add the bolts and tighten them to 20 nm (15 lb ft) then secure the splash shield retainer. Reinstall the left front wheelhouse liner then lower the vehicle while connecting the Brake Master Cylinder reservoir return hose quick connect and supply hose quick connect . Special attention should be given to refill the Brake Master Cylinder reservoir.
