two (front) for connecting pipelines to the working cylinders of the front brake mechanisms..
...and two (rear) for connecting the pipelines to the working cylinders of the rear brake mechanisms. Moreover, the rear hoses are a non-separable unit equipped with a mounting bracket and replaceable only as an assembly.
To replace the brake hose of the brake mechanism front wheel do the following.
1. For ease of work, remove the front wheel on the side of the hose being replaced.
2. Unscrew the union bolt securing the lower end of the brake hose to the caliper…
3. …and disconnect the hose from the caliper.
Plug the hose end holes in any way possible to prevent brake fluid from leaking out.
The hose tip is sealed with copper washers on both sides. Replace the washers with new ones each time you disassemble the connection.
4. Remove the brake hose retainer from the slot in the bracket on the shock absorber strut.
5. Unscrew the nut securing the tube to the upper end of the hose.
6. Remove the upper end of the hose from the bracket hole on the body and its spring retainer and remove the hose.
Note: To prevent the hydraulic fluid from completely leaking out, immediately plug the tube opening using any available method. Air bleed valve protective caps are very suitable for this purpose.
7. If replacement is necessary, remove the spring retainer of the hose tip from the tube nut.
8. Install the new hose in the reverse order of removal.
Caution! Make sure that the hose is not twisted along the axis when installed.
9. Replace the second front hose in the same way.
10. After replacing the hoses, bleed the brake system (see Bleeding the hydraulic brake system).
