how do you change the brake hoses?

on a renault clio 1.9 diesel 1998?
faye, February 2008
flexible brake pipes have a male and female end .seal off the top of the master cylinder using plastic bag replace top (this is to make a vacuum to prevent the fluid totally draining out) locate the metal pipe that attaches to the FEMALE end support the flexy while undoing the metal pipe when clear remove any mounting clip that is holding the flexy to the wing ,go the remaining end and undo,(the hose it self will rotate as you undo)
((please note the hose has a line down the side this line must remain fairly STRAIGHT on reassembly not look like corkscrew))
YOU MUST BLEED THE BRAKE SYSTEM and top up the fluid and remove the plastic bag
