Braided hoses

[ForceIndia]

Fitted my new brakes yesterday, from yozza. Haven't got round to doing the hoses yet (ran out of time), but 2 questions:
1-Are they easy to fit, or is it worth paying somone?
2-Any point in fitting braided hoses to the rear brakes, as they do bugger all braking?

Cheers
Warren

1 - Yes, easy to fit, do it yourself, you'll need a brake bleeder or a tube/bottle/mate combo

2 - Yes, you get them as a kit so might aswell, improves pedal feel.

I have them on my car

You sir, are a leg-end. I'll leave some beers in the boot. How much fluid do I need? Yoz gave me 4 bottles (1litre).

PS you'd be proud, I did pads myself, discs tonight. (Then walked brake dust through the house).

1l is plenty for a flush/bleed.

Matey if you can fit discs and pads you are obviously competant enough to do the lines!!

10/11mm spanner needed I think!


I have heard backs dont do squat but fitted them anyway otherwise what are you going to do with them.
