Is the brake hose bolt 8mm or 10mm?
1 Answers
Brake hose bolts are generally 10mm, but a small number of vehicles may use 8mm brake hose bolts. Here is relevant information about brake hoses: 1. Definition: The brake hose is another crucial component in the braking system. Since it needs to transfer brake fluid from the master cylinder to the wheel cylinders located on the moving suspension components, it consists of rigid pipes (non-moving parts) and flexible hoses (moving parts). The rigid pipes in original equipment vehicles are made of special metal tubes with excellent strength; 2. Composition: The flexible brake hoses are typically made of rubber tubes containing nylon and metal wire mesh. During continuous braking or multiple emergency stops, these hoses may expand, causing a drop in brake fluid pressure and affecting braking accuracy and reliability. This is particularly important for vehicles equipped with ABS anti-lock braking systems, as continuous expansion points in the brake hoses may lead to hose damage.
