#13-05-22-001A: Pre-Formed and Pre-Flared Hydraulic Brake Pipe Kits Now Available for Service - (Apr 11, 2014)

Subject: Pre-Formed and Pre-Flared Hydraulic Brake Pipe Kits Now Available for Service

Models: 2000-2006 Cadillac Escalade Models 2000-2006 Chevrolet Avalanche, Suburban, Tahoe 1999-2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2000-2006 GMC Yukon Models 1999-2007 GMC Sierra

This bulletin has been revised to emphasize the continued availability of pre-formed and pre-flared hydraulic brake pipe kits. Please discard bulletin 13–05–22–001.

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform dealers of an improved service strategy to aid in the replacement of hydraulic brake pipes for the above listed vehicles. Customer Care and Aftersales (CCA) has released pre-formed and pre-flared hydraulic brake pipe kits.

These kits can be used anytime replacement of the entire brake pipe assemblies is required. These kits include all the pre-formed and pre-flared brake pipes needed when replacing the entire brake pipe assembly, except the rear axle crossover pipe. If the rear axle crossover pipe requires replacement, refer to the appropriate parts catalog for ordering and the Brake Pipe Replacement procedure in SI for installation instructions. The following procedure describes how to install these kits.

Replacement Procedure (Pickup and Cab Chassis) Removal

Warning: Brake fluid may irritate eyes and skin. In case of contact, take the following actions:

Eye contact—rinse thoroughly with water.
Skin contact—wash with soap and water.
If ingested—consult a physician immediately.

Caution: Avoid spilling brake fluid onto painted surfaces, electrical connections, wiring, or cables. Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and cause corrosion to electrical components. If any brake fluid comes in contact with painted surfaces, immediately flush the area with water. If any brake fluid comes in contact with electrical connections, wiring, or cables, use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid.

Caution: Care should be taken to ensure that dirt, water, grease, or other contaminants do not enter the new brake pipes and threaded end fittings when the pipes are being installed into the vehicle. Use tape or other appropriate methods to cover the threaded end fittings and the ends of the pipes to prevent dirt, water, grease, or other contaminants from entering the pipes. Remove all protective measures before connecting the end fittings to the master cylinder, brake pressure proportioning valve (where equipped), brake pressure modulator valve (BPMV), or flexible brake hoses.

Caution: Cleanliness is important for the proper function of the hydraulic brake system. Clean all dirt, water, rust, etc from the areas adjacent to each brake pipe tube nut before removing the brake pipe tube nuts. Take care to ensure that no contaminants enter any hydraulic fittings or openings during removal or installation of the brake pipes.

Caution: Before removing any brake pipes from the master cylinder, ABS module (BPMV), and the brake pressure proportioning valve (where equipped) identify the port locations. On the BPMV identify the port location for each hydraulic component (e.g., Master Cylinder Primary, Master Cylinder Secondary, LF corner, RF corner, LR corner, RR corner, Rear Brake). On the brake pressure proportioning valve identify the port locations for each hydraulic component (e.g. master cylinder primary inlet, master cylinder primary outlet, master cylinder secondary inlet, master cylinder secondary outlet, pre-charge pump). When installing the replacement pipes, ensure that the replacement pipes are installed in the correct port locations on the master cylinder, BPMV, and brake pressure proportioning valve, where equipped. If the pipes are not installed in the correct port locations on all the hydraulic components, the brake system including the ABS system and/or TCS/VSES Stabiltrak system (where equipped) will not operate correctly and may result in damage to the hydraulic brake components.

Note: This procedure does not comprehend specific vehicle models or brake system configurations. The illustrations may not exactly reflect the vehicle being repaired. Some LD pickups and LD SUVs may be equipped with a brake pressure combination valve and a brake pressure modulator valve pre-charge pump. The brake pipes attached to these components should be removed and replaced with the replacement pipes provided in the service kit.

Note: This procedure is not intended for the repair or replacement of a single damaged brake pipe. This procedure is for the replacement of the entire brake pipe assemblies with pre-formed and pre-flared components.

Note: Remove the brake pipes from the existing routing clips carefully to avoid damaging the clips as all the clips will be re-used. The new brake pipes will be reinstalled into the existing clips. After installing the new brake pipes, inspect the routing of the brake pipes to ensure that the new brake pipes do not contact or rub on any frame, body, or chassis components. Carefully bend the pipes to increase clearance as required.

Note: The brake pipes in these kits are not an exact duplicate of the pipes currently installed on the vehicle. These pipes have a nylon coating to provide better corrosion protection and may have slightly different shapes and bends and may not exactly match the brake pipes being replaced. Some original equipment pipes may use flexible hose sections near the master cylinder or brake pressure proportioning valve that attaches to the master cylinder to brake booster mounting studs. The replacement pipes in this kit will not use the flexible hose sections. The replacement pipes have been designed to fit each vehicle application. Because of the nylon coating on the outside of the brake pipes, the outside diameter of the pipe is slightly larger than the original pipes, Extra effort may be required to insert the pipes into the existing mounting clips. It is recommended to finger start all the threaded end fittings into the master cylinder, brake pressure proportioning valve, brake pressure modulation valve, and flexible brake hoses before performing the final tightening and torque of each fitting.

Note: The brake pipes in these kits may have additional large radius shipping bends to allow the pipes to fit within the cardboard box. Those pipes with additional shipping bends will have tags on either side of each shipping bend. Carefully straighten the section of pipe between the tags to remove the shipping bend. Take care not to kink or damage the brake pipes. If a brake pipe becomes kinked or damaged while removing the shipping bends, it must be repaired or replaced before installation into the vehicle. Take care not to cut, nick, abrade or otherwise damage the nylon coating on the brake pipes during installation.

Note: For Chassis Cab models, due to the installation and mounting of the aftermarket equipment/body on the rear of the chassis (i.e. flatbed, stake bed, box van, dump body, etc) by the second stage manufacturer or vehicle upfitter, it may be difficult or prohibitive to remove the aftermarket body to enable replacement of the OEM rear brake pipe. Each vehicle will need to be assessed individually, however, it may be preferable to hand bend a service replacement brake pipe using GM P/N 88936298 PIPE, BRK (STEEL) (1/4" X 16 FT ROLL) nylon coated bulk tubing available separately from GM dealers, using GM P/N 15103241 Fitting, BRK PIPE (1/2-20-2A THD) (1/4 TUBE STL) to attach to the ABS module (BPMV) and GM P/N 11609443 Tube Nut (7/16-24 UNS-2A THD) to attach to the rear axle jounce hose. These tube nuts are designed to properly fit over the nylon coated brake tubing. The tube nuts can also be removed from the replacement rear pipe included in the brake pipe service kit and installed on the hand bent service replacement pipe. Route the hand bent service replacement pipe from the ABS module (BPMV) to the rear axle jounce hose ensuring adequate clearance is maintained between the pipe and surrounding components to ensure that the pipe is not damaged in service. Attach the hand bent service replacement brake pipe securely to the chassis using brake pipe clips, rubber coated P-clips, or other suitable methods. The maximum distance between attachment points or clips should not exceed 457 mm (18"). If a brake pipe has a directional change (bend) of 30 degrees or more, a clip needs to be located as close as possible to the bend.

Note: Only raise the body enough to gain hand access to the brake pipe routing clips. Pay careful attention to avoid stressing hoses and wiring harnesses.

Note: Place the support blocks inboard of the frame rails and as close to the body mounting points as possible to evenly distribute the weight of the vehicle body.

Note: Only raise the pickup box enough to gain hand access to the brake pipe routing clips. Pay careful attention to avoid stressing hoses and wiring harnesses.

Note: Place the support blocks as close to the pickup box mounting points as possible to evenly distribute the weight of the vehicle body.

Note: Due to the similarity of the brake pipe fitting tube nuts, it is imperative to identify the individual brake pipe locations on the BPMV to ensure correct assembly.

Installation

Caution: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners, or fastener joint surfaces, unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems. When using fasteners that are threaded directly into plastic, use extreme care not to strip the mating plastic part(s). Use hand tools only, and do not use any kind of impact or power tools. Fastener should be hand tightened, fully seated, and not stripped.
