MikeCottTrials Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Ok i snapped the cable right where the barbed fitting begins so i thought i could attach the cable onto the fitting then bleed and it would be alright. but i havent been able to get the little bit of hose thats on the fitting off. so has anyone else tried this and got any tips on taking the hoes off.Theres a pic of the fitting http://82.110.105.16/tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=376 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siders77 Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 Heat the hose up a bit with a lighter or something. Don't get it too hot though, it'll just melt! Just enough so the hose expands a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aff1e Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 the best way is to slice it with a stanley knife to remove old hose thanks Affie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-BT Posted March 13, 2006 Report Share Posted March 13, 2006 If you get the hose cutting blocks (2 pieces of plastic with grooves in) if you have some, puth the hosse and them in a vice then hammer the fitting on to them, worked for me.but then again im a dodger bugger oh well.nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
