Hey guys, this is my first time changing out brake hoses and looking for some reassurance. I noticed a crack in the front passenger brake hose and decided to order all new ones for the whole truck
Not sure if they have ever been replaced. I ordered from rock auto and installed part 78-382424, AC Delco professional on the passenger front.
Two questions, the plate holding the hose to the top of the control arm tab does not line up perfectly. I don't think it's a big deal but the plate is not flush with the top of the control arm.
Second, the clips where the hose joins the line is different. The original is about three times thicker then the new one and has two contact points to the connection where as the new one only has one. Should I use the original or keep the one with the new line. Picture below.
Thanks in advance. Without doing this professionally, better to ask and be safe rather then sorry .
