Rear Brake Hoses

This flex hose goes from the metal brake line on the rear fork to the metal brake line on the axle tube. To check the brake hoses, jack up the rear of the car and spin the wheel. Have your buddy step on the pedal, the wheel should stop. Now have your buddy let off the pedal and try to spin the wheel. If the wheel spins freely, the hose is fine. If the wheel is tight, crack open the bleeder valve for a second. If the wheel spins freely now, you have a bad hose. Old hoses tend to collapse inward allowing fluid out because of the pressure, but not allowing it to return because of lesser pressure from the springs

Hoses

We only carry metric hose. This type of hose has cloth wrapped around it. We see more engine fires from people running an American-sized fuel hose than for any other reason. The cloth on the outside of the hose is supposed to make the hose tighter as it swells. If you run an American-sized fuel hose, even with a clamp, it will swell and come off. Hoses are sold by the foot.
