The hose that your brake fluid flows through when u mash the brakes
the rear brake hose? it connects up on top of the frame on an L-bracket, which goes into a hose, and the block is mounted on the rear axle.
A defective brake hose must be replaced. There is no way to fix it.
1. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper. 2. Remove the brake hose from the brake caliper. 3. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end. 4. Cap or plug the opening in the brake caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination. 5. Remove the 2 brake caliper pin bolts. Remove the park brake cable from the caliper. 6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper bracket.
The two main possibilites are. (1)Brake caliper and/or brake hose. (2) Suspension/steering parts worn/loose
Either the caliper piston is frozen stuck or the hydraulic brake hose has collapsed internally. Open the bleeder on that caliper and see if the pressure releases, if it does you have a bad brake hose.
If you have power brakes look where the large hose that goes to the brake booster connects to the engine and that is your main vacuum source.
there is not a bleeder hose on the brakes. but there is a bleeder valve on every brake on every wheel
Well yes possible, but remember you will lose all your brake fluid possible when you remove the brake hose, and you may also have to bleed the brake system to get all the air out.
The hose goes from the diff to the frame, remove the two brake lines from the block on the diff, remove the mounting bolt, then disconnect the hose from the brake line at the frame. Install then bleed the brakes.
you need manifold vacuum for the brake booster.. (intake manifold)
