nmt_oli Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 If you get hold of the service kit it will be much easier- that comes with spare hose, lots of connectors and fittings, a bleed kit, and the blocks to help put fittings onto hose.The easiest way is to get the two plastic hose clamp blocks, a new length of hose, and 2 new fittings.Clamp the hose with the blocks in a vice, with about 10mm sticking up past the blocks. get a hammer, and tap the barbed fitting into the hose, repeat for other end.Screw new hose into brake, bleed as usual.

Ben Geary Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Buy some new hose then cut it to the right lengh then take the barbs of your old cross over ( these are a mission to get of) then fit them you your new cross over, screw all on then give it a bleed, bleed with water if i was you.Much better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shovel Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 i got a split in my rear crossover and just replaced it last night, best thing to do is to clamp the barb connector in a vice and chop at it with a stanly knife and then use some cable cutters and prise it off, do the same with the other connector, with two little plastic hose holders hold the new piece of hose in the vice and hammer the barb connector innot very hard to do at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shovel Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 i choped a heap off with the stanly knife and then gripped the sides of the barbed connector with the hose on it and pulled at it and it came off. when i hammered the barbed connector onto the new bit of hosing it was a very tight fit, gave the bike a bit of a test today and it's all goodthe new tubing will turn round a little bit on the barbed connector, quite stiffly though. . . .prob need a couple of new barbed connectors if the hose is spinning very freely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
