Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Assembly overview - flanging tool
| The flanging tool for brake lines -VAS 6056- can be used to
flange brake lines with an outer pipe diameter of 5 mm without
damaging the coating. In certain cases, this allows sections of
brake lines to be renewed at less expense. |
 Note
| Brake lines may only be bent to max. 90°, as they otherwise
kink or display deformations which constrict the cross-section
of the line to an impermissible degree. |
| Preferably separate brake lines at underbody. |
| The positions of the intermediate pieces must be selected so
that they cannot chafe on moving parts. |
| Do not grease spindle; merely clean with methylated spirits. |
| Special tools and workshop equipment
required |
