BMW BRAKE HOSE REPLACEMENT *EASY METHOD*

[@jonowen6612]

Nice work, George. I did this two days ago to my F30. Just need to do this to my E89 next and all my cars will have stainless braided lines. This is an important safety improvement for older cars.

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yep all 3 of mine have these on👌🏼

[@Diffusion8]

The little black rubber thing around the braided hose has to connect in to a bracket, otherwise it can fail the MOT (recently failed mine over this).

[@neilpike4358]

Great video George, I installed braided hoses onto my M3 Evo five years ago still as new today! Keep up the good work M8👍

[@GeorgeAusters]

Good stuff, yeah they're pretty much good for life!

[@JavierGomez-jj6id]

great video I'm replacing one of the front hoses on my 325i (2006) Its a good thing you have information on on all tools need it!!!

[@khalifaalnaamany9330]

Hello, are the front break horse different or any can work on any side... thank you. 2008 BMW X6

[@andrewlawson3694]

I usually use Hels racing hose but bought the waz hoses before I saw your video because of the price, silly cheap ! Thanks George.

[@BSmith-lr6dn]

Do you what's the size of the break line by any chance

[@chadriddle3517]

Good job , makes me wanna put braided hoses on mine George. Keep the uploads coming

[@GeorgeAusters]

Thanks Chad, will do!

[@doms_cinema]

I need to replace in couple days as well , just question how did you stop brake fluid ? And do you have to air out system , or open reservoir lid before you do anything?

[@garycook1517]

yet another great video, sorry I missed the live stream, had to work late

[@GeorgeAusters]

Cheers Gary, and not to worry👍🏻

[@leifjonasson5931]

Great video. What to use if rusted hoses, stuck hoses? WD40?

[@GeorgeAusters]

The hoses very rarely get stuck, it’s just the fitting on the pipe that gets stuck👍🏻

[@jonowen2699]

Great review, George. Going to do my e89 now that I’ve finally found stainless brake lines. Peace!

[@skipperstan]

Nice video thanks, very informative. I tried this on my 2011 E90, but as it is an old banger, everything is rusted up. The union was rusted to the metal brake pipe and it snapped, and so I've decided to leave it for now, not worth fixing.

[@GeorgeAusters]

You should have watched this video first.. That happens as soon as the car is 5 years old or so. You need to twist the brake pipe off, you'll have no chance undoing the union

[@ojsannals6877]

Is it not needed to replace the clip that holds the hard line? The U or upside down U looking clip

[@Robert.K]

You're into something here. The way the hose is mounted in this video is not solid. I did this job today and I'm going to have some washers made, so that I can use the original clip to keep things in place.

[@JohnWilliam-x7z]

This videos been on for q while so i hope u see this Odd question but after replacing the brake pipes can you just put on the wheels and go Or do u have to bleed the brakes???

[@GeorgeAusters]

Brakes needs bleeding

[@JohnWilliam-x7z]

@@GeorgeAusters my 1st car lol 😆 ty for the tips and the reply

[@snazy7777]

What size plug did you use at the end of the hard pipe so the master cylinder doesn't empty? 5:00

[@brennang02]

ive seen that on a number of cars with the abs module, people like to compress the brake pedal and lock it in place to stop any air going into the abs module and air locking it. Is that not necessary for this work? or is that just for when replacing the solid pipes and they will be taken off straight at the abs pump?

[@GeorgeAusters]

You can do but if you’re quick only a small amount of fluid comes out. Always needs flushing after anyway

[@kaler329]

Where can I buy these for a bmw e60 530d m sport 2006 auto

[@pj9375]

Nice helpful video, thank you sir. Completed mine today successfully 😎

[@GeorgeAusters]

Glad it helped

[@zafmahmood5654]

Great video and really informative for us beginners. Can you buy the rusty clip (time 9:01) which breaks due to rust?Thanks

[@ArtyYeo]

Thanks for the video! For the new brake hose, how far down do you tighten the 14mm bolt to the caliper? Do you tighten it till you do not see anymore threads or is there a spec available?

[@GeorgeAusters]

There likely is a torque spec but hand tight with a wrench is fine

[@kotsikirov9623]

hello, could you tell me where I can buy the same hoses?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Check description

[@kotsikirov9623]

​@@GeorgeAustersCan you give me a link because I can't find it?

[@tony5006]

Well, all's well and good George but that will fail the MOT because the spring clip is missing which keeps the hose/pipe joint secure at the bracket. Same with the one you did earlier. Poor really.

[@GeorgeAusters]

No it won’t.. it’s never failed an MOT for it👍🏻

[@tony5006]

@@GeorgeAusters Well as an MOT tester for more than 45 years |I can tell you it bloody well should have. Who does your testing, Ray Charles?😏

[@waynekerwin8891]

George when you initially free off the standard front hose which sized spanner did you use to undo the hose from the hardline when you drop it.. I suspect I will need to do the same on mine tomorrow 👍 I know it’s 11mm on hardline but not sure if it’s 14mm or 17mm u used to break it free

[@GeorgeAusters]

14mm

[@waynekerwin8891]

@@GeorgeAusters thanks George 🏆

[@waynekerwin8891]

George I did discs and pads other week. Now intermittently I can get any wheels at any time are getting hot.. I can push pistons in by hand it’s hard but they move. But after a bit either can heat up. I’ve stripped cleaned greased I’ve bled life out of it. I’m planning on changing brake hoses morning.. could there be something obvious im missing. I plan to do a full flush of oil too tbh. I’m just scratching my head how it’s intermittent.. I read a lot the hoses can fail but worried will need callipers too after. Spent so much on this thing now it’s ridiculous tbh 😤

[@markedwards4764]

Hi George love em am going to do this on mine ...I've seen wezmoto on eBay are they good ones ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yes very good quality mate👍🏻

[@GeorgeAusters]

I’ve linked them in the description also!

[@markedwards4764]

Hi George ok thankyou

[@BSmith-lr6dn]

Do anyone kno the size of the break line

[@rupertpupkin3004]

Did you need ISTA to bleed the system?

[@GeorgeAusters]

No

[@mshahid2898]

Hey G do these improve braking noticeably? Mine are just stock..

[@GeorgeAusters]

In theory yes, when pushing your brakes to their limits

[@paulopereira8984]

hi do you think this kit is worth it for my bmw e87 120d (FULL KIT) Wezmoto Stainless Steel Braided Brake Hoses Lines

[@GeorgeAusters]

Yes

[@KevsShed]

What's secret about it? 🤔

[@peterhol3]

And now you have 4 loose brake hoses . In the front you never replaced the securing clips, and in the back , you didn't reinstall the steel and rubber ring. And if this is so much better than rubber hoses, why dont car manufacturers do this from new ?

[@GeorgeAusters]

Manufacturers don’t do this to save costs

[@Ris-v4w]

3:00 what i'd like to know is how you've managed to get that ring spanner on the break pipe union ?! :))) and i know it's a RING spanner, because it also shows up at 3:43 😂😂😂

[@GeorgeAusters]

It’s a ring one side, open ended at the other👍🏻

[@Ris-v4w]

@@GeorgeAusters can we just call it "magic" ? :))

[@cyberairwolf]

when you say *easy method* are you just basically saying its a quick easy fix? or would there be another way that is harder method? Cheers George, love ya heaps xo lol

[@justyeti7244]

So this is the “easy method” where is the “hard method”, I need that one.

[@GeorgeAusters]

The hard method is when you try to undo the brake pipe fitting from the hose and it snaps

[@herobo123456]

where is the copper washer going onto the caliper it doesn't exist?

[@GeorgeAusters]

There isn’t one

[@mariusbut5734]

Actually there should be x4 copper crush washers and they all shoud be on the caliper side of the brake line.
