Replacing brake hoses on a 02′ Mazda Tribute (same procedure applies to Ford Escape) and using a few other cars to give an idea on how this job is done and what problems you might run into. Brake hoses are a cruicial part of the braking system, they provide flexibility during steering and suspension movement. Brake hose failure can cause loss of brakes.

That was explained perfectly, thank you
Very helpful just found your channel and it’s extremely helpful.
The extra video production effort (light, mics, camera angles) are probably not appreciated by most.
No question her but a comment- I’m afraid to do this job on my 2009 civic because the connection to the hard brake lines is pretty rusty and afraid of doing some real damage.
Thanks for the tutorial! One of my brake hoses ruptured on the way home from work and I managed to save some money fixing it myself. Of course the brake bleeder screw was stripped, so that was an ordeal itself. Anyway, thanks for the help, and great video. Very clear and concise.
