Removing Brake Hose?
How do i remove the brake hose please? I'm fitting my K-Sports and i am having trouble figuring out how to do it.
Thanks |
Are you replacing the hose, so you are talking about removing from the car, or from the the caliper?
If from the car, its bolted to the shock absorber. You just need to undo it from there. Best to get a brakeline spanner, as they are pretty tricky. I "think" its a 10mm, can't be sure. You'll have to pull a clip out to remove the hose once its undone. |
From the car, i've removed the clip but am now having trouble undoing it. The 10 MM bolt just seems to be slowely rounding off.
Is it the 10 MM bolt you turn of the part above it? Thanks |
Its easier with the clip in, it holds the brake pipe tight, stopping it from being bent up.
The bolt is a nightmare, sometimes its best with molegrips. Brakeline spanners are good, as they have extra sides, so less chance of rounding the nut off. Look like this: http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/...1mm-x-13mm.jpg |
Sorted :) Used mole grips.
