How to reroute and shorten the hose without bleeding the brake
Before you start turn the master vertically upwards
Attention:
If possible,
FIRST
cut the hose about
150mm
from the master.
Then use an 8mm open spanner and remove first the sleeve nut and then the hose.
To avoid spillage hold the hose!
Attention:
if the hose is routed through the frame, take care to shorten it
AFTER
routing through the frame.
In case of routing the hose through the frame, please order the hose with an additional length of
300mm
.
If possible use a plug to close the hose during the routing process.
Take the hose after routing through the frame and check for correct length before shortening it.
Tighten the sleeve nut with the correct torque of
4Nm
while HOLDING the hose.
