Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Line Routing And Securing
There is a risk of damaging the lines.
The lines can be damaged by the moving or hot components.
-- Route lines in their original locations.
-- Replace a damaged cable tie and cable bracket.
-- Make sure there is sufficient clearance to moving or hot components.
- Mark the individual hydraulic and vacuum lines or the wires before removing them. This will prevent interchanging them and will ensure they are installed in the original locations. Draw sketches or take pictures of them if needed.
