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

Copyright 2014 General Motors LLC. All Rights Reserved.
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
Page 2
April, 2014
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
Bulletin No.: 13-05-22-001A
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.

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.
