Special tools and workshop equipment required

Brake Line Tool Kit :VAS6056

Flare the brake lines using :VAS6056 without damaging coating. In this way, brake lines can be inexpensively replaced in partial sections in certain cases.

CAUTION:

There is a risk of damaging the brake lines.

Using the Brake Line Kit V.A.G. 1356 is not permitted because of the coating and diameter of the black brake lines.
Brake lines must not be bent more than a maximum of 90°, otherwise they kink or deform, which causes unacceptable constriction in the line.

NOTE:

Disconnect the brake lines preferably at the underbody.

The position of intermediate pieces should be selected so that they cannot rub against moving parts.

Do not lubricate spindle. Clean with mineral spirits or commercially available brake cleaner only.
