Brake pipes — replacement (Opel Zafira A)

The necessity of performing this operation should be determined during the process of checking the technical condition of the brake system (see "Brake system - checking technical condition").

The replacement technology is the same for all brake pipes. The difference lies in the presence and number of additional elements for fastening the pipes to the body (holders). The tubes leading to the rear wheels are additionally secured with holders, which are secured with plastic clamps.

Sequence of execution

1. Prepare the car for work (see "Preparing the car for maintenance and repair").

2. Using a slotted screwdriver, remove the protective cover holder.



3. Remove the casing.



4. Using a slotted screwdriver, unscrew the retainer and remove it.





5. Remove the holder.



6. Unscrew the fittings of the tube that needs to be replaced. The procedures for unscrewing the fittings of the brake tubes from various components of the brake system are described in the relevant sections.

7. Remove the tube by pulling it out of the fastening elements on the body (where they are).

8. Install the brake pipe in the reverse order.

9. Bleed the brake system (see "Hydraulic brake drive - bleeding") and make sure that the connections of the new brake pipe are tight.
