Goodridge rear brake line nut removal

Post by STYLER »

Can the thin nut behind the large loose one be un-screwed and removed or is will it be crimped on etc?

Im putting the line through the swing arm. I know you can do it without removing the joint but thought it may look neater with a smaller holes in the swinger.

cheers peeps

Since you will be needing the hose shortened anyway... why not hack that end off, and use one of these?

I don't think it's a nut! It's part of the fitting; it's hexagonal so's it's easier to assemble, you tighten the big nut against it when you fit the banjo.

It can be removed but you'll need a new olive and the fitting to be remade. TBH I'd rather have a bigger hole in the swingarm, than to fiddle with a factory fitting.

Tht's all. In fact it'll be worse performance wise because it's a pig to bleed a line with so many ups and downs, but it really does look aces.
