Hi all,

KJ 2003 2.8 CRD, I have a problem with rear brake hose/line connection
I'm trying to replace the soft brake hose to caliper,but I can'it get it separated from the hard brake line.
any tips ?
where do iput the wrenches to turn ?
thank you

Giacomo

the rear left and right lines are all one piece on my 2005 they separate at the feed on top of axle
the do not come apart

Thank you dh100m

Arrgh .... :

And why are they selling the soft brake hose separate ?

Giacomo

Hi,
ok for rear brake lines all one piece, but a Junction Block ( BRE ) malfunction could be the cause of front brake calipers sticking ?
thank you

Giacomo

No.
Swollen caliper pistons are the cause.
These calipers are well known for getting sticky as they get old.

What exactly are your symptoms?

Does yours have ABS, anti lock brakes?

Agreed, can be the caliper pistons sticking, but note, it can also be the flexible rubber rubber hoses that go to each caliper need to be replaced!
When the hoses get old with age, they can collapse internally allowing brake fluid to pass through the hose under the higher pressure of breaking, but do not let the low pressure fluid pressure return back to the master cylinder normally once the brake pedal is released, thus allowing a small amount of pressure remain on the caliper pistons holding the pad slightly against the rotor causing them to eventually overheat and start smoking! As they heat up, the heat can increase the pressure and exacerbate the situation!

Seen this a bunch of times in my experience over the years on vehicles with age...
Solution: Replace the rubber hoses!

Yes

Hi all,

after replacing rear and front brake caliper (new ) the problem is not resolved :braking wheels ( mostly the front ) that overheat and start smoking
Now I will also change the rubber hose ,but the strange thing is why all four wheels are blocked ?
It could be the brake master cylinder or ABS/pump assembly ?

thank you

Giacomo

Goodmorning everyone ,updating

fitted new front rubber hoses, but the problem is not resolved.
I'm going crazy......
it could be the brake master cylinder or ABS/pump assembly ?
thank you
