4. Installation
Installation of brake lines is a critical procedure that directly impacts vehicle safety. It is strongly recommended that this installation be performed by a qualified automotive technician.
The Dorman 919-107 kit features pre-formed lines designed to align with original equipment routing, which can simplify the installation process compared to custom-bent lines. Standard automotive tools, including flare nut wrenches, will be required for proper connection and tightening of fittings.
After installation, the brake system must be properly bled to remove any air and ensure correct brake function. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific bleeding procedures.

5. Maintenance
Regular inspection of your vehicle's brake system, including the brake lines, is essential for safety and longevity. Periodically check the brake lines for:
- Leaks: Look for any signs of brake fluid leakage around fittings or along the lines.
- Damage: Inspect for kinks, cracks, abrasions, or other physical damage.
- Corrosion: Although stainless steel is highly resistant, inspect for any unusual discoloration or signs of surface corrosion, especially in areas exposed to road salts or debris.
Ensure brake fluid levels are maintained according to your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations. Brake fluid should be flushed and replaced at recommended intervals to prevent internal corrosion and maintain braking performance.
6. Troubleshooting
If you experience any issues with your braking system after installation or during normal operation, consult a qualified automotive technician immediately. Common symptoms that may indicate a brake line issue include:
- Spongy Brake Pedal: May indicate air in the brake lines or a fluid leak.
- Low Brake Fluid Level: Could be a sign of a leak in the system.
- Brake Warning Light: Illumination of the brake warning light on your dashboard requires immediate attention.
- Reduced Braking Performance: Any noticeable decrease in the effectiveness of your brakes.
Do not attempt to drive a vehicle with compromised braking performance. Seek professional diagnosis and repair.
