Can I clamp braided hoses
So going to fit new calipers, sure this came up on a thread years ago that you shouldn't clamp braided hoses.
Last time I did, but don't want to knacker them up. But won't to stop the brake fluid from leaking when fitting new callipers.
Is there a trick I don't know about?

Remove the lines from the brake pipes and fit M10 Dome Nuts over the brake pipe fittings.
Or just be quick and wipe up any spillage immediately. You should be able to swap all the parts over and leave disconnecting the hose from the old caliper and attaching to the new caliper last.

Jam the brake pedal down with a 2x4 against the drivers seat before letting the pressure off via the bleed nipples into a bottle. Should stop most if not all of the leaks. Or, as said above, just work quickly. I've never had a problem just disconnecting the hose from the old caliper and immediately attaching it to the new one.

Hmmm interesting, I've just freshly painted them and last time I did brake fluid damaged some of the paint, lucky just on the rear of callipers, still don't like to see my hard work wrecked.
