  • A little note - braided is slightly different, you need to cut back the sheathing first, then wiggle the olive onto the braided section.

  • Great video. Seems simple enough - apart from 'peel the brass insert out' - it doesn't come out of mine. All that happened eventually after much use of screwdriver like the video was that the inner part of the hose has come out 1.5 inches.

    Presumably in doing so the inner is now detached from the other end of the hose where it inserts into the brake caliper, so my brakes are now ruined.

    These things are not always as simple.

    I've tried everything to remove the brass insert. Anyone know how?

  • Brilliant video. some awesome tips i didnt know about especially rolling the diaphram on. my brakes always do a bit spongy after a few rides and no idea why, reakon ill bleed them tomo and roll it on and all will be good.

    Cheers

  • Cool video, cheers. Im sure Hope think i ride a 8" travel tandem, because my rear brake hose came in about 5 foot long!! Oh well, better long than short.
