changing rear brake lines

[cs_dave]

Would i be ok to totally remove the brake line steal ruber to the joiner on the frome and replace with a single length pf braded hose?

Come again?

 

[cs_dave]

Sorry i want to remove the rear brake line from the union underneth to the union that goes to the caliper and use a meter length of stainless steel hose union each end.

So 1 long hose/pipe instead of the metal and rubber hoses it has now

​Any better

I removed rears from the hose end and took them in with my braided hoses to a local garage and they made the copper pipes to fit. cost me £20. Saved me time and effort.

At worst you'll have to take them off at the bracket (with wheel off, left side of n/s disc).

They can supply the union straght to the braided hose so no copper pipe?

 

[182_Adam]

If you can get one long enough then yes, go for a longer hose directly into the caliper from the first union back of calliper.

just buy the premade pipe from Renault, they're only about £25 each side (from the flexi above the axle all the way to the caliper)
