Hi all

 

Fitting my brembos and am at the stage where I connect my new braided hoses and detach the old one.

 

Can someone clarify where I conect too. Seems to me like there is only one place which is where the thin pipe meets the thick pipe on the drivers side its up and to the front of the car inline with the bottom of the suspension spring. Is this correct or am I wrong.?

 

Thanks

Remove the spring clip (arrowed), then spanner on flexible pipe union and brake pipe spanner on hardline union. Same for

other end of line.

 

use a flare nut spanner as they are like toffee and suck. (10mm)

Ok used a flare nut spanner and spanner on the flexi pipe union but the nut wont undo its slowly rounding off ive sprayed rust away stuff wd40 but still nothing wont budge. Using 10mm flare nut wrench. Any tips? Other than give up

I have the same issue I heated it up with a small blow torch and that worked nice the pipe you are keeping is all metal so its safe the rubber part that goes to the brake it rubber but if its damaged by the heat it don't matter as its going in the bin any how I just heated it up a little didn't go mad but it work for me.

if you have rounded the nut like I did at first I ended up using a pair of mould grips on one side and the flair nut wreach on the other part

put something heat proof behind the pipe so you don't set fire to the stone chip paint in the wheel arch if you do this

Cheers dan im leaving it to rest for today will crack at it tomoro

that worked for me the wd40 didn't do bugger all just watch you don't set fire to the stone chip or under seal. have the hose or bucket of water near by just incase

Has the other side come undone? I would use Plus Gas as it is a proper release agent whereas WD-40

is a water displacement/anti corrosion agent.

Tried that andrew. Did nothing lol. I went and bought another hex flare nut wrench this evening and a blow torch. So ill have a crack at it tomoro. Some pics to see what it will look like.

looks great. the blow torch will work just put something to protect the stone chip
