This video will show you step-by-step on how to replace the front brake line hose on a Toyota Camry. The customer reported that his dash panel brake warning light was illuminated and that his cruise control stopped working. The fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir was checked and was below minimums. Fluid was added and each wheel was removed in order to inspect for leaks in the brake line, hoses, calipers and slave cylinders. The left driver's side brake hose was indicating leakage. The customer provided me with two new front brake line hoses and requested their replacement.
Before you decide to replace a brake line hose, you should have a flare nut or crowfoot wrench to detach the brake line flare nut from the brake line hose. Using a open end wrench runs the risk of rounding off the edges of the flare nut. To reduce air entering the brake caliper, the caliper should be removed off the caliper bracket with the brake line hose being right side up before removing the brake line hose banjo bolt. After the new hose has been installed, the brake service valve can be opened to allow any air to be drawn out with a brake bleeder tool. If the flare has rounded and won't come off, I have another video showing you how to cut it off and replace it: • How To Fix Brake, Clut...

Nice informative video as usual. You seem to already have a video for all jobs I need to do to my 98 Camry and other family cars which is really helpful! Feel more confident that I can do the job after watching your video several times. Please continue with more. Thank you for your efforts. Highly appreciated! Regards.

If I can add one piece of advice for anyone else doing this,especially in the rust belt arears. Be prepared for that union at the hard brake line to snap or twist. Soaking the line connections with penetrating oil or just heating it up helps alot. Then followed by tightening and loosening the connection so the hard line doesn't twist and break off.

I have important question. Im replacing caliper and line on the other side and wondering if I can attach the new line to the new caliper and attach the line last. I would bleed the brakes of course. Can I do that or do I have to attach the new line first then the caliper? It would save me a mess from wiping caliper off trying to connect to fluid filled line. Thank you and your feedback is much greatly appreciated. I didn't think it would matter since the new line and caliper already has air inside am I correct?

It seems like this would be a good time to do a brake fluid flush. Bottles are like 10-20 bucks. Thoughts on this?

Hello there, I'm just wondering why you changed this part ( brake hoses ) because I have a problem in my car ( Honda accord 2008 )and I replaced the calibre, so do you think the brake hoses is broken? Thanks

I'm getting a new caliper and a new hose, do you think it's better to attach the hose bottom end to the caliper first then the top end. I'm trying to minimize the spillage.

I'm noticing a few drops a day of what appears to be brake fluid dripping on my driver's side front - just under a bit of the subframe where the front driver's side control arm mounts to (I believe near the middle mount of the control arm) - it's slightly darker yellow than new fluid, but has the same mineral oil type feel - and smells only slightly different than new (or reservoir residing) fluid - new fluid seems to have almost no smell, and is only very, very minimally yellow, the drip seems to smell very slightly of oil and is darker. My reservoir doesn't seem to be going down noticeably. I'm wondering if this is likely to be the same leak as you'd repaired before doing the passenger side in this video? Is this a more likely place for a leak than the caliper hose points (and bleeder valve)? I'm planning to put the car on front ramps for a better look - do you think removing the wheel is required to see this flare nut / retention clip area?

Hello there, I noticed the copper crush washer are completely flat on one side and more rounded/beveled on the other. Does the completely flat side have to be towards the flat metal surface of the brake line, and the rounded side facing the banjo bolt to make the proper seal so fluid won't leak? Thank you :)

Do you think I should let the new brake hose starts to drip before installing it? So it can limit the air go into brake caliper.

Hey my brake pedal is spongy and sinks in, so planning to change the hose and do brake bleed. My question is, should I do brake bleed first before changing the hoses or it's the other way around? Thanks for your help!
