Brake hose replacement question

[Holdano]

I’m getting ready to change rotors, brake pads, repack bearings and was going to replace my brake hoses while I’m deep into it. I think I have most everything sorted but could use the knowledge here to confirm if there are crush washers used on either end of the brake hoses (either going to the hard line or caliper)?
Thanks!

Theres No crush washers . I find putting the caliper end first with caliper in position prevents hose twisting .
You might have to heat up the end attached to the brake line first so it comes out easier without damaging the nut . Use a Flare wrench ( oem size is 11mm ) too which are either sold as a set or separately at home depot .

Good luck

@Gaspiper Thanks! This is super helpful. I've got a flare nut tool on my list of items to get, so this is great. Yeah, I was planning on hitting the connections with PB Blaster (and caliper bolts) for a few days in advance. Thanks again!

Holdano , you welcome . Just don't rush taking the brake line / nut connection apart without heating it up first .
Slow 🐌 is smooth & smooth is fast .

Best of luck

Heat/penetrating oil/Heat/penetrating oil. Be patient! if you damage the fitting, you'll have to replace the steel line.

Brake Hose Replacement

This webpage provides a good step-by-step instruction on replacing Mercedes brake hose lines. The hoses and connections look the same as the T1N: Non-video version https://www.youcanic.com/mercedes-brake-hose-replacement/ For the T1N, all 4 brake hoses are the same. My additional comments...
