Rear Brake pipes

Replacing the spiral brake tube inside the cross member is quite difficult. So difficult that I forgot to take any photos whilst I was doing it. 3way.jpg (17332 bytes)
The brackets have to be removed from the old pipes and fitted to the new pipes. The new pipes have to be fed in to the cross member from each end.

The bracket inside the tube has to be positioned so that its stud comes through the appropriate hole and a nut can be put on it.

Here is the diagram from the Haynes Manual. You have to make sure that the spiral is centralised. haynes.jpg (8959 bytes)
