REMOVING THE BRAKE HOSE, MAGIC FIXING???

So, going for full MTEC brake change and fitting some HEL braided lines at the same time.

 

Just gone to take the first front brake hose off. All gone smoothly, drained hose, all disconnected, removed the sliding metal clip for the top fixing where the hose connects to the brake line. AAAnnnndddd.......... What the chuff is still holding this onto the bracket? Ive unscrewed the brake line nut, removed clip on top, can't anything else that should come off or move, is it just the power of 20 years worth of corrosion holding it on? should it pull down through the little bracket? or it it part of the bracket?

Once the nut has been undone and the C clip removed, you should be able to wiggle it loose then pull down to remove it. If there's a lot of corrosion/crud around it this will probably be whats holding it. I take it it's the bracket that's attached to the car, where the metal brake line joins the rubber flexi hose?

That's the one Dave! First time I've done brakes hoses, after a while of wiggling and looking at it thinking wtf is this mysterious fixing. Went back out this morning when it was acceptable to make a bit of noise and gave it a little tap underneath, popped straight out.

 

Managed to get front complete today, looking very smart with new mtec discs and fancy green Hel lines fitted. Took a couple of goes figuring out best orientation of the brackets as you drop from 4 bolts to 2, but plenty of clerence full lock both ways now.

 

Just the rears to do and a full system re fill and blead and it should brake better than ever before.
