Magura Hose Reattachment

firstly what exactly do the olives do? and my hose snapped and before i undo the shroud nut and everything falls out am i right in thinking the shroud nut needs to come off for the olive to go in that way? forgive my stupid question but i dont know

The olives are compressed by the shroud nut to create a very tight fit. The Shroud nut goes on the line first then the olive, place the olive end into the lever then push the shroud over and tighten it. Its fairly simple, See page 11-12 of the following document, you will need a new olive, I think rock n roll bikes is cheapest.

Once again,shroud nut goes firts,then olive.Olive can´t slide down,because shroud nut holds it in place
