Hi everyone,
I took the tires off our 2009 Vibe GT to inspect the brake pads, hoses, lube things, etc., and noticed the passenger side rear brake hose has a "gouge" out of it. It literally looks like someone just scooped a chunk out of it about 1 inch long, and about 1/3 of the way deep into the hose. Anyway, I plan on replacing it this weekend. I've done many brake jobs, but never replaced a brake hose. I watched a few videos on youtube for generic brake hose replacement and brake bleeding, but I'm just wondering if there are any specifics for this car. I already ordered the brake hose, I have brake fluid, a bleeder setup (bottle, hoses), and a 10mm flare nut wrench (which I hope is the correct size), along with all my other tools.
Any tips, suggestions, or anything else I need to know before diving in?
Also, do I need to just bleed the passenger rear brake (since that's where I'm changing the hose), or do all of the brakes need to be bled?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
