I've gone and ordered some brake lines at last. I know the lines that are currently fitted are past it (more than the service interval).
What i'm after is some tips and pitfalls with fitting them. If you've answered a similar post already, stick a link in if you could. Cheers guys! |

When you fit them they have to be on bloody tight. Fitted mine went on a rideout afterwards and they started leaking @ the clip on end.
so take a spanner with you, after they are fitted. sexysi |

Erm, workshop manual says a maximum of 23 Nm on the Banjo bolts at the calliper and master cylinder ends.

Had a few queries myself, and some comment to make on the HEL braided hoses when I fitted them last month.

If they still leak, change the copper washers... If you're using stainless banjo bolts, and you probably are, they're pretty easy to shear...
I ******* hate bleeding brakes... Just hate it. Something always goes wrong, and I can never get a solid feeling for ages, for no apparent reason, then it suddenly works without me doing anything different. B***ards. If I have to do it these days I refit the parts, have a wee half-hearted bleed then do the tie-the-lever-back thing overnight before I ever try and bleed them, seems to help. Though I bought a bleeder tool thing which I'm putting my faith into, because otherwise I'm going to end up going mental again next time I have to do it. I'll do anything else on the bike... Want me to break it down into its component parts and then put it together again? OK... But you're bleeding the damn brakes.

Don't re-use the sealing washers - fit new ones, they really are pennies - and the unions will not require more than the specified torque, so as not to leak.

I meant to say that... My post looked like I was saying only reuse them if you need to, which is stupid
