Remove and discard the brake hose clip (A) from the brake hose (B). Remove the banjo bolt (C), and disconnect the brake hose from the caliper. Remove the brake hose from the knuckle. |

Install the brake hose (A) on the knuckle with flange bolts (B) first, then connect the brake hose to the caliper with the banjo bolt (C) and new sealing washers (D). |

Install the brake hose (A) on the upper brake hose bracket (B) with a new brake hose clip (C). Connect the brake line (D) to the brake hose. After installing the brake hose, bleed the brake system.
