I'm told this is an easy job...
I now have all the tools and parts I think I need. However, I am unsure about the best way to deal with the brake hose connections to the calipers. Any suggestions gratefully received! |
What you need is a pair of mole grips to clamp the rubber pipe while you swap the calipers, the 2 pot hoses fit the fours I think.

Had thought about that, but wondered if it wound damage the pipes?
Don't want to have to drain the system twice as I will hopefully be fitting braided hozes in a month or two. |
So long as you don't crimp it too tight it'll be fine, trust me, I've dun it!

Thanks - I know I can be heavy handed with moles sometimes...
Only has to last a little while until I can afford braided hoses and dot5.1 fluid, but I'd rather have working brakes until then ;) Will give it a go when there is some good weather. I wish I had a decent size garage! |
If you don't want to use a mole wrench there is a clamp you can by which is made for the job...
|
Thanks it's good to know what tools are available...
I own some moles, I would have to buy the clamp ;) Know what I'm going to use... :D |
