In this video, I show you how to install some stainless steel braided brake lines. The rubber lines on the accord work well but I would like to upgrade them while I’m upgrading the rest of the braking system.

I would start at the banjo end of the hose to make sure it dosen't have to be twisted for a perfect fit. The other end of the hose can be rotated before you "torque" it down and that way the hose won't be twisted. Agree?

@andregreen8040 4 года назад

Yes, I do agree. I would also heat up the copper washers over a flame till they’re red hot, then dip them in cold water before fitting. They will seal better.

@NeverEnoughPyro40 2 года назад

Soapy water in a spray bottle works very well for cleaning brake fluid, plus you can clean those sweet red painted calipers in the process with a rag. Avoid spraying while banjo bolts are removed.

Actually you do not have to add soap or any other cleanser to the water, Water alone will wash away 100 percent of all brake fluid!

A quick tip about brake fluid if you push the brake pedal to the floor that will push the rod inside the master cylinder and this will stop brake fluid from coming out of the hose, hold the brake pedal down with a stick or long rod.

You can get a torque wrench in there, they're called "crow's feet", and they work just fine. Also if your worried about rust so much, maybe put a rust inhibitor like permatex or loctite anti-seize.

Only thing with stainless is they have to be checked regularly and any leaks are hard to find. Im lucky to have the Boss 302 option from Ford Performance, they are a good compromise between stock and stainless steel...also comes with complete OEM hardware and superior copper washers. Since it is OEM the fit is perfect.

@Joe-rx7ht 3 года назад

You should’ve started on the caliper furthest from the brake master cylinder, like the right rear, then left rear, then front right and finally the front left (driver’s side) being the very last one. And bleeding after each one in the process.

@jtworksoncars6341 3 года назад

Modern Hondas and Acura are bled starting from FL, FR, RR, and RL according to the service manual.

@NeverEnoughPyro40 2 года назад

First of all Mechanics and people who are actually educated and knowledgeable in the automotive industry has never bled each wheel after replacing a hose, line, wheel cylinder or caliper, Just replace whatever it is you are working on and then bleed your brakes! And secondly not all vehicles use bleeding sequence, Starting furthest from the master cylinder! And yet again your comment is just one more reason Automotive Businesses can justify their labor rate!

@Kierenboyle57 8 лет назад

@anthonyboria5738 Год назад

What kind if car was this ? You were working on good video btw best I've seen!! I have a 02 is300 and have these stoptech lines sitting in my locker and have put the job off in fear if messing up anything. But what ive seen so far on videos on brake hoses no one is really saying that you don't have to bleed the brakes if you just change out the hoses quick then there's no need to really bleed the bleeder screws! So my question is can you just change out oe stock hoses to stoptech ones and not have to mess with bleeding the brake lines? Cuz I just want to change the lines to save on labor from a dealership and then take it to them to bleed the brakes! So yeah buddy lmk if your car is an is300 cuz it looks it and if u just can achieve this job without bleeding brakes and just take it to a shop after 2 cut corners to have a shop bleed the brakes lines and do a brake flush which I believe is the one in the same thing I think 🤔 yeah lmk I also did your valve job on my valves from an 08 oddessy j35 engine to clean and polish the valves best video you have on the web bro it works and no other videos compare! I have some ill send u if u put your email on that job I did ok thanks sorry for long comment.

@stephanelouvet1113 Год назад

Nice step by step tutorial ! Very detailed. But please, put some gloves. The DOT brake fluid is corrosive. And a trick so the fluid doesn't go down the line. You need to apply a pressure on the brake pedal. Keep it pressed with a wood stick for exemple. This way, the communication between the lines and fluid tank are closed by the slider in the manifold. ;)

@benzflynn 4 года назад

What you're talking about are brake HOSES - not brake lines. Brake lines are made of C-Mn steel tube when new and usually of Cu-Ni alloy when repaired. SS hoses might be an idea for rich boy cars. But the manufacture cost will be high for relatively small production volumes and so will the retail price.

@sergedenovo4873 7 лет назад

I would pinch off the hose with vice grips, that way you can detach(old) and attach(new) the banjo bolt, without being in a time crunch and only losing the fluid that's past the point of the pinch off. Makes sense?

Hello milan, I installed the steel braided hoses to my Honda Pilot, i had one issue, and maybe this one was defective. How much thread when screwing the brake hose to the brake line should be showing? I had about half of the threads not wanting to go in? I did not tork it just to be on the caution side. I unscrewed then out, then back in, still stayed about halfway out. So what should i do? is that normal, or I just purchased a defective line?

@camillosteuss 4 года назад

@@warmachinehksqc Hey, stainless is not stainless, its just very resistant... If you treat it like shit, even stainless will react with something and develop corrosion... It just doesnt react with so many things as regular steel does as it has additional elements ingrained in its crystalline structure that prevent other shit from ingraining there and cause the phenomenon that we call rust... But that said, there are aggressive agents that will react with steel and bump out the alloying elements from the surface layer and slowly cause minimal oxidation which again, we call rust... And im not talking about chromed steel, but alloyed steel that contains chrome within, along with other shit, not just electroplated... Its like the pick-proof locks, there aint no such thing, they just resist picking a lot better than most, but they can be made to open without a key, just as stainless is actually rust-resistant only to an extent...

Hey Milan, Grate tips and videos I just subed, your channel. I am wondering how your calipers are holding up. you never mentioned anything about following the directions on the paint can by baking the painted piece in three different steps. I just recently bought some of the exact paint though have no way of baking it as directed on the can . so I am wondering how your parts are holding up? If its all good I will skip this step as well.

@milanmastracci 6 лет назад

They're holding up great. Keep in mind when you get your brakes hot, you are in essence 'baking' them as you're getting them up to high temperatures and it will further cure the paint. My brakes look great and the sticker as well is holding up strong
