Rear Axle Break Flexy's

[small_all@hotmail.com]

Alright guys i noticed the other day while under me car that one of the flexy bit of break pipe that runs under by the axle was slightly shagged and will defiantly need replacing, are these the bits u get when u buy the braided break lines.. and what are they like to change ??

nice one

hey bud the braided lines will only replace the rubber flexi ones ,if the steel brake pipes are corroded you have to change them for copper ones

They can be a bit difficult to change if they is alot of rust around the joints, you should use a proper brake pipe spanner so you dont round the unions off, then you will need to bleed the rear brakes, hoping bleed nipples on calipers dont snap!

sweet, ive had my calipers of a few times its just where the unions are at a glance they lookd like they were 1 with the car the corrosion was so bad

you should be cool mate ,easy job ,as long as you can get the brake pipe free ,if its copper the brake pipe ends sometimes stick to the copper pipe just work the end back and forth until the pipe pops from the brake pipe end ,then fitting your new flexis will be easy   ,worst case senario you will have to change the copper pipe if it gets twisted :wink:  :wink:  :wink:
