WARNING
Ensure new, longer front hydraulic brake lines, currently used on 5-

hydraulic brake lines are subject to failure during full steering
travel and must be replaced with new, longer front brake hoses.
Failure to do this will result in injury or death to personnel.

hoses to prevent contamination. Failure to do so may result in
internal parts damage.
NOTE
Left and right front flexible hydraulic lines are replaced the same.
This procedure covers the left front.
