brake help (brake hoses)

[MaLicE]

right



fitting new calipers, discs and pads.



HOW THE FECK do i get the brake hoses off of the old calipers, they are like welded on to the caliper. if i wanted to remove the lines from when the line from the caliper goes in to like a braket how do i get them off there, just doesnt seem easy or logical....

eh?

Do you want to remove the entire flexi hose or just the caliper?

If its kinda rusty, pop down to your local motorfactors and pick up a 10-11 C spanner for brake union fittings.

the male fitting on the copper line tends to seize badly.

well really i would like to remove hose from old caliper so i could screw it in to my new 16v calipers, or if need be remove the whole hose to replace with new ones....

 

[BenR]

well thats what you need then....a normal spanner is fine, but a C one gets a far better hold

fank jooooo ben

thats why these spanners are better, they dont strip the union.
