Could I please ask if any of you would have any words of wisdom for me on replacing the front brake hoses on my '78 Dodge dually?
The replacement brake hoses are slightly different from the originals.
The original hose retaining clips looked like the first picture, but the clips for the new hoses are similar to the second picture.
I can't figure out how to install the new retaining clips on the new hoses so the hose will be firmly fastened to its bracket so it won't move. Whatever I do, I seem to have wiggle where the rubber hose meets the steel brake line.
It doesn't seem possible to use the old retainer clips with the new hoses.
What the heck am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
