right new problem...yikes. two.

the bit where the new brake line connects to the hard pipe, on one side ive pretty much rounded the 10 mm bolt. grr. so ive got a braided on one side and old one on left side. will have to sort this later.

2nd prob.

test drove car. like, zero brake pressure :homer: all the lines are secure. i only bled the front two brakes, is that the problem? do i need to bleed the rears too?

why do the back lines need bleeding though? surely there shouldnt have bin any air get into the back lines? and plus the front brakes do most of the work and im sure i bled them suckers right through :/

Yeah no need for that to come off. Think its a deep-reach 32mm anyway. I broke two breaker bars trying to undo mine to change my wheel bearing! :( Yeah, that's right, broke them...sheered in half! Someone had over-torqued it! And I went at it with a breaker bar with scaffolding pole on it! Haha lol
