Hi,

Replacing the hose isn't too hard. Just be careful when unbolting it from the steel brake line. Oftentimes, corrosion will make it difficult and damage the steel line.

If you look at the attachments below, they include directions and pictures specific to your vehicle for either of the front rubber brake hoses.

Also, here is a video showing it being done on a vehicle. Although it is a different model than yours, the procedure is very similar.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
