Review on Raybestos BH382617 Professional Grade Hydraulic by Charles Thomas

Revainrating 3 out of 5

First, these two hoses are direct replacements.

First, these two hoses are direct replacements for Chevy Trailblazers and Envoys front brake calipers. They only got three stars because the banjo washers (copper washers) to connect the lines to the brake calipers were either missing or not supplied by Raybestos. I've ordered Raybestos rear hoses for the same vehicle (Trailblazer) and the banjo washers were in the box, but so far I've only received one of the rear hoses (one was late) so I don't know if the other rear hose will fit . there are pucks. That was very important because I don't know if these washers are for this industrial hose. I replaced both front calipers with these hoses installed and new copper washers (thankfully) came with the new calipers. Big BUT, I had a hell of a time to push the brake hose against the caliper and it kept leaking until I tightened the bolt more than I dared. I discovered the banjo "puck problem" when one of the backlines was delivered at the end of the day and it was the turn of the pucks. I shouldn't have put in so much effort that the fronts stopped leaking, and as soon as I saw Raybestos had pucks built into the backlines I figured they should have been built into the fronts. Cannot return anything as they are fitted and the work needs to be completed as the right front brake caliper was frozen and could not drive the car in the condition it was in before the repair. Please note Revane.
