GENERAL INFORMATION
Self-locking nuts
Flexible Pipes and Hoses
General
When removing and installing flexible hydraulic pipes
and hoses, ensure that the following practices are
observed to ensure component serviceability.
l
Before removing any brake or power steering
hose, clean end fittings and area surrounding
them as thoroughly as possible.
l
Obtain appropriate plugs or caps before
detaching hose end fittings, so that the ports can
be immediately covered to prevent the ingress
of dirt.
Self-locking nuts, i.e. nylon insert or deferred thread
nuts can be re-used providing resistance can be felt
when the locking portion of the nut passes over the
thread of the bolt or stud.
l
l
l
Clean hose externally and blow through with
airline. Examine carefully for cracks, separation
of plies, security of end fittings and external
damage. Reject any faulty hoses.
When refitting a hose, ensure that no
unnecessary bends are introduced, and that
hose is not twisted before or during tightening of
union nuts.
Where self-locking nuts have been removed, it is
advisable to replace them with new ones of the same
type.
Fit a cap to seal a hydraulic union and a plug to
its socket after removal to prevent ingress of
dirt.
l
l
Absolute cleanliness must be observed with
hydraulic components at all times.
After any work on hydraulic systems, carefully
inspect for leaks underneath the vehicle while a
second operator applies maximum brake
pressure to the brakes (engine running) and
operates the steering.
