Review on πŸš— Russell 693380 Brake Hose Kit for 2005 Mustang by Bomba Ton

Revainrating 1 out of 5

colossal failure. Rear brake blocked!

Serious problem with the rear brake lines. The thickness of the yoke that attaches to the rear calipers is slightly thinner than the factory brake hose I replaced which causes the banjo bolts to protrude into the caliper hole (I didn't notice this until the brakes locked and then had to take everything apart). This ruined the new set of DBA rotors and PFC Z-Pads. I didn't notice any problems during the first test drive. The next day, after riding the first 3km, I noticed that it was hard to accelerate. After stopping and checking the brakes, I noticed that the rear end was very hot and stuck. I was hobbled home at 10mph, took everything apart and that's when I saw the banjo bolts stuck in the caliper's piston bore and scratches on the piston itself, making them physically unable to retract. Russell needs to check the quality. /fit. that's ridiculous! A lot of wasted money and time. I will never buy Russell products again!
