Brake Line Replacement
« on: July 11, 2020, 02:07:14 pm »

Finally finished the brake line replacement using Venhill Lines in a blue colour - and what a job it was.

Filling the lines meant that I could finally see whether splitting the calipers had been a mistake....

Fortunately it wasn't. No problems with everything fluid-tight and working as it should.

Details, including the torque settings used are here towards end of video:

Hope this is helpful :)

You cheated there Dave and missed out the most important bits.

Many thanks Costas.

I took it slowly and followed the manual.

So far all is good -no leaks and new pads and rear disc bedding in nicely.

Cheers
