Front Caliper Hoses
Front Caliper Hoses
- Next, return visit to the front calipers to replace the
brake hoses, clamped the old hose, loosened the banjo bolt on
- the caliper and where the hose joins the steel pipe. I
can't clamp the new hoses, so I knew that until I had connected
- both ends there was going to be a bit of brake fluid
leaking !!!
- Got the new hose connected to the steel pipe, but, when
I connected the banjo to the caliper the banjo bolt would not
- tighten up ! Checking with the old hose banjo revealed
a difference of 3mm. I clamped off the new banjo end with a
- short piece of heater hose and a G clamp, whilst I set
about reducing the overall length of the banjo bolt.
I am not
happy
with this and
will be speaking to the supplier to see if they can offer a better solution for
future sales.

With the hose diameter being smaller than the OE hoses,
the retaining clips don't work too well..........
- Last thing to do was bleed any air out of the system, standard use of
easybleed system, but this time an addition of a
- vacuum pump to speed things along a little. Need a test drive, but brakes
feel ok......ish, need to bed the rear pads....
- Now, it was a good job that I got to look at the front
calipers, because the pads were nearly worn out !!!, will have to replace
- these before the next track day ;-)
and yes the brake wear sensors are cable tied to the inner wing and not
used.........
- Pistons look grubby, but as they are stainless steel, a
quick dust of and they will be fine when
- I replace the pads.
