tdubz Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Good evening aquired a magura off a mate, but he was running the hose down the steerer, kindly he cut the hose at the cylinder as to preserve as much hose as possible for me. so far i have removed the shroud nut and also pulled the olive from the old small section of hose that remained in the cylinder. what is the best way to now reattached the olive and star nut to the long length of hose. anybody got any money saving/semi bodge secrets to sort this many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 i've reused olives loads of times, fair easy to bodge. take the olive (no hose left in it) grip it in some long nose plyers, take a cross headed screwdriver and push it into the olive and twist the screwdriver round until the hose will fit through (will need to do it to both sides). does help if you have something to press everything against like a wall...then fit again as normal odd one to explain, but it makes more sense when you have all the bits in front of you.
