58-18 BRAKE LINE
BRAKE LINE
INSPECTION

2. Check the brake hoses for cracks, damage and leakage.
3. Check the brake line flare nuts for damage and leakage.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the brake hoses without twisting them.
2. The brake lines should be installed away from sharp edges,
weld beads or moving parts.
3. Tighten the connections to the specified torque.
PROPORTIONING VALVE
Do not disassemble the proportioning valve. The proportioning valve
regulates the distribution of fluid pressure to the front and rear brakes
to prevent skidding in the event of rear wheel lock, and to obtain
greater braking efficiency.
2. With the brakes applied, measure the input pressure and the
output pressure. If the measured pressures are within the
ranges as illustrated, the proportioning valve is good.
3. Reconnect the brake lines in their original positions and bleed
the system.
NOTE
This figure shows characteristics of the proportioning
valve during pressure increase.
