some tips needed about brake fluid change

[krnau 0]

Hi, I am going to replace all rubber ducts of the brake system, and the brake liquid reservoir as well. But I have some questions:

 

is there any special tool required for removing last brake line (the one plugged to the calippers, and to the braided one)?

should I also purge the clutch line? (how)?

 

thanks!

shouldn't be, i think its just a 10 or 12mm spanner.

 

sometimes a slotted spanner can help and reduce the risk of rounding the bolts.

 

its the other end i had trouble with, where the flexi line joins the hard line, i had to cut through the hardlines and remake them

yes this is what I am scared of... rounding bolts :?

 

and the other end was what I meant. should I use any special tool?

You need good quality 11mm and 14mm flare nut spanners...

plus-gas/wd40 and a heat gun.....

 

depending how old they are, mine had to be cut off and new hard lines made
