Brake Hose Inspection for Pontiac Trans Sport 1998

The flexible hydraulic brake hoses transmit hydraulic pressure from the steel brake lines on the body to the calipers. Inspect the hoses at least twice a year.

Inspect the hoses for the following conditions:

    • Road hazard damage
    • Cracks
    • Chafing of the outer cover
    • Leaks
    • Blisters
    • Proper routing and mounting

Use a light and mirror for an adequate inspection. Replace any brake hoses with any of the above conditions.
