How To Fit Braided Hoses (just me again)
How To Fit Braided Hoses (just me again)
right first take a wire brush and clean the end of the pipe and the pipe threads and spray with a penetrating oil(leave sitting for a few mins)
take your brake pipe spanner(10mm) make sure its on properly and slacken(anti clockwise)if you dont have a brake pipe spanner i recomend you get one only a few pounds but can save you rounding off the 10mm(if you do its a new brake pipe)
take a 14mm spanner or socket and remove the bolt from the back of the caliper(the one that holds the pipe on)
take note on how your old pipe sits ie how it bends as if you dont you might end up with a pipe that rubs off the suspension or wheels
remove the horse shoe clip it just pulls towards you,remove your old hose now and refit new one screw the hose into the brakepipe, you shoud have got 8 copper washers in your kit two for each hose. take the 14mm bolt you removed from the caliper put one washer on the bolt put the bolt through the pipe and put a other washer on the other side and then screw into the caliper (make sure your hose is sitting right) then tighten the 10mm and 14mm
remove the rubber nipple cover(if they are still on your car)
take note on the copper washers
give the nipple threads a clean with the wire brush and spray some penetrating oil on and leave for a few mins
slacken nipple (10mm again)and put your bleed bottle on the nipple
this is the part that req two people and some brake fluid get your mate,mum,dad or your sister to sit in the car(remember you should have slackend the nipple) and pump the brake pedal approx 10 times on the last pump hold the pedal to the floor and tighten the nipple PEDAL MUST BE HELD TO THE FLOOR!!!!then top up your brake fluid(must be done after every bleed)
now stand back and admire your handy work then poop yourself coz you have a other 3 to do!lol
once you have done all 4 make sure your brake pedal ok if it feels spongy or it sinks then re-bleed the brakes.:thumbup::thumbup:
