Hello,

The rubber brake hoses at the wheel tend to wear out over time. They perish, become frayed or soft. They would then need to be replaced, preferably in axle sets. I have attached 2 YouTube videos on how to replace those brake hoses.

Please see attached illustrations regarding front brake hose location and wear pattern.

It is important to work clean as you do not want any dirt ingress into an open hydraulic line!

After the brake pipes have been replaced the hydraulic brake system needs to be bled.
Please see instructions below how to do this.

Please let us know how you get along.

Cheers, Boris
