Removal & Installation

  1. Apply pedal prop and depress brake pedal slightly. This prevents bake fluid from emerging from expansion tank and air from entering system when brake lines are opened.
  2. Grip brake hose at square head (2) so that connecting piece cannot rotate in retaining bracket. See Fig 1. Disconnect brake hose from brake pipe (1). Detach brake hose from brake caliper (3).
  3. To install, reverse removal procedure. Tighten brake hose connections to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  4. Bleed brake system. See BLEEDING BRAKE SYSTEM .
