Flex Hose, Front Driver Side

The first step for mounting the front brake flexible hose involves attaching a new clip to the hose. You should join the flexible hose to the brake tube through either a union nut wrench with hand pressure from another wrench or direct torque application with 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf) using a union nut wrench or 14 Nm (145 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf). A torque wrench with 300 mm (11.8 in.) fulcrum length should be used while maintaining union nut wrench parallel to the torque tool for precise torque adjustment. Be cautious not to warp or harm the brake tube and always secure the connection point against foreign objects coming inside. Install the bolt to 31 Nm (316 kgf-cm, 23 ft-lbf) torque followed by adding a new gasket then uniting the flexible hose through the union bolt with 30 Nm (306 kgf-cm, 22 ft-lbf) torque. The brake fluid should be filled into the reservoir following the installation steps and brake line must be bled properly before checking the fluid level and inspecting for leaks. Secure the front wheel by turning the bolt to 131 Nm (1336 kgf-cm / 97 ft-lbf).

Apply a torque of 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf) without the union nut wrench or 14 Nm (145 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf) with it, ensuring the union nut wrench is parallel to the torque wrench.

Use a union nut wrench (10 mm) while holding the flexible hose with another wrench. If not using a union nut wrench, apply a torque of 15 Nm (155 kgf-cm, 11 ft-lbf). If using one, apply a torque of 14 Nm (145 kgf-cm, 10 ft-lbf).
