Replacing the rear wheel brake hose (Chevrolet Lanos T150)

We replace the brake hose of the rear wheel brake mechanism if it has mechanical defects - abrasions, cracks or tears, as well as if a leak of brake fluid is detected through the hose or if rubber bulges appear when the brake pedal is pressed.

After a run of over 120 thousand.

km or 5 years of operation (whichever comes first) it is advisable to carry out a forced replacement of the brake hoses.
