This pressure force the brake pads in the calipers together, clamping the brake pads onto the brake disc, initiating the brake proses.

Brake hoses or brake lines is a flexible rubber pipe. These hoses are manufactured from reinforced rubber which, is resistant to oils and fluids and must be able to withstand extremely high pressures which is generated during the braking process.

It is advisable to replace broken hoses with new brake hoses.
