Brake lines, hoses and fittings
Inspect these components every 4,000 miles (6,000 km).
•
Check lines for kinks, dents, corrosion or rupture.
•
Check hoses for abrasions, kinks, soft spots or rupture, collapse,
cracks, twists or loose frame supports. When replacing a hose, be sure
there is adequate clearance to the hose to avoid an abrasion to the
new hose.
•
Examine all connections for leaks.
•
Repair or replace brake line tubes, hoses or fittings as required.
Parking brake
Parking brake adjustment should only be performed by a qualified
technician, and in accordance with the instructions in the service
manual.
WARNING:
Use wheel chocks and exercise caution when
inspecting under the vehicle. A vehicle roll-away could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
