Good day, My volvo850(1995) failed to pass the annual technical test due to worned break lines. There are visible cracks in the rubber that covers these lines. I've never did break lines replacement before and I think its wise to ask about how to do it before starting doing it. I have the procedure for bleeding the system took it from Haynes repair manual. But, i still lack the step by step instructions for break lines replacement. Anybody knows how to do it?
thanks in advance, Husam
I forgot to say that I was talking about break lines that goes to the caliper of the front wheels!

Husam,
There is a special tool available to remove the rubber hose connector that goes from the metal breakline to the calliper. Its like an ordinary wrench (round and 6 sided) but it has an opening at the top end. The metal connectors of the hose is copper-like (soft). Donnot try to use an orinary wrech you'll wreck it.
Cheers,
Martijn
It is referred to as a flare nut wrench I believe. To remove the old ones a vice grip is OK, but you need the proper wrench to assemble. __ __ Randy & \ \/ /alerie's \__/olvo '93 960 Estate
