Review on Dorman H381299 Hydraulic Brake Hose by Richard Edwar

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good replacement hose but needs adjustment

Good replacement brake hose. The only problem is that the brackets on it have to be undone and the hose has to be pulled down a bit after installation. If you don't do this, the hose will become taut at the point where it connects to the caliper as the wheel spins. Slightly lift the clamps around the hose and pull the hose down by turning the wheel back and forth. Make sure the hose has enough slack. When proper free play is found, lightly tighten the clamps (around the hose) with a hammer.

Pros
  • Hose, lines and fittings
Cons
  • Some nuances
