Summary
A brake line doesn't have to look completely rotten to become dangerous. In this episode, Motormouth explains why continuous inspection of steel brake lines needs to be part of every vehicle service - especially around the brackets and fasteners that secure the lines to the vehicle's underbody. Those little rusty "carbuncles" around a brake - line retaining bracket can be telling you something important. And when a steel line finally ruptures, the brake pedal can go straight to the floor because hydraulic pressure is gone. Motormouth shares a real - world February experience in rural Pendleton, New York, when a brake pedal suddenly went to the floor approaching a sharp, icy corner - and explains what happened next and why knowing your vehicle's emergency braking systems matters. The bigger lesson is simple: don't wait for a brake line to fail before you inspect it. Ask your repair shop to inspect and report on all the metal brake lines every time the vehicle is serviced. If corrosion is progressing, deal with it before you need those brakes in an emergency. A little prevention today can prevent a very bad day tomorrow. #Motormouth #BrakeSafety #CarMaintenance More Episodes and ...... project Details & Links are available at Car connection Business Network.com ccbusnet.com you'll find everything on our home page if you'd like to follow the build & Repair work we do & connect with our program partners, click their logo to meet them, Thank You for giving them your business, we need them & YOU TOO FRIENDS👍❤️ How can you support Motormouth......
