GENERAL INFORMATION

Unscrewing of a connecting nut of the brake system with use of a special key

Brake tubes are applied to transfer of brake fluid from the main brake cylinder to wheel brake cylinders. Connection of tubes with brake cylinders and distributing devices is made by conical couplings. The ends of tubes are pressed out and have the cone-shaped form for the corresponding size of conical carving openings in brake cylinders or distributing devices.

Before sinking of the ends of tubes the lock nut which after a vvinchivaniye of a cone-shaped surface in the conical basis of a carving opening presses and pressurizes a tube is put on them.

Brake hoses carry out mobile communications between mobile and motionless parts of the car. For reduction of losses of brake fluid at removal of working brake cylinders clips for a perezhatiya of brake hoses are used.
