Quick braided hose question (pic included)

[mattjk]

right got my hoses through this morning and have cleaned up the current joints and i plan to fit them tommorow. But i would appreciate if someone could check the picture and just confirm something

the 4 bolts that i have circled do they just need to be undone?? will there be thread on the end which i just screw the new hoses into? also how much fluid will i lose will it empty the reservoir? do i have to keep topping it up? is it best to bleed the fluid with the engine running or not??

Is there any picture guides on doing the braided lines/bleeding, because i would quite happily take pics & detail my process and then post it up on here for others.

Thanks guys!

yes.

You'll always lose a bit of fluid when you disconnect the hoses . Put some cling film over the brake fluid reservoir and screw the cap back on tight . Bleed through " without " the engine running .

Cheers billy, thats fine to be honest id ussualy just trial and error stuff but with brakes its a bit iffy so wanted to make 100% sure what i was doin lukily the bolts arnt rusty so shouldnt be too hard to get them off?
