Front Brake Hoses - Drum 440mm

This flex hose goes from the metal brake line to the front wheel cylinder. Get your buddy to help you check the brake hose. Jack up the front of the car and get down and spin the wheel. Now have your friend step on the brakes, the wheel should stop. Have your friend let off the pedal and try to spin the wheel again. If the wheel spins freely right away, the hose is fine. If it's tight, crack the bleeder valve open for a second. If the wheel spins free after that, then you have a bad hose. Old hoses tend to collapse inward. Brake fluid is allowed to flow to the wheel cylinder because of the pressure. However, the return spring doesn't have as much pressure and the brake fluid can't return. m/f 430mm
