Yep, you need to get rid of the old swivel joint. Don't forget to use a copper crush washer

Getting rid of that old swivel joint is proving to be a challenge, it's stuck fast and I really do mean stuck! I have left the caliper fitted on the bike so I can give it some force but it isn't budging. I'm concerned I'll damage something trying to force it too much, I guess its been there for 20 years so its not keen to leave.

All sorted, installed and doing the overnight weighted lever trick, but pretty solid even before then
