Fitting Braided Brake Hoses

[stomper]

ok, so my braided lines arrived today from the forum group buy - and they look the dogs nuts! Now i just need to know if they're a straight forward swap out, or if i will need anything else before i drain and take the system apart. I read somewhere that there was a crush washer - are these a re-usable part? Also do i need special brake spanners, or will standards do?

Appreciate the heasds up y'all! (as its a long friggin walk to autobarn!)

My brake lines dont have any crush washers, just the usual flared pipe end that mates onto a cone shape. NFI what the right terminology is. For tools you probably just need a flare nut spanner. Its like a ring spanner with a slot cut out so you can get it over the tubing. Its also chunkier to make up for the loss of strength that the slot brings. Much better than trying to use an open ender, which is likely to damage the fitting. 10mm is all i needed for my car.

A pipe spanner they call it may be a worth while investment

from supercheap or repco.Remember when bleeding

brakes start from the passenger rear them drivers rear

then passenger front then drivers front this is the correct

way to bleed the system.Happy motoring
