    The worst part of the job will be getting the fittings undone if they are in poor shape, otherwise its straight forward remove and refit followed by bleeding the brakes. Good time to change them all out for braided lines if funds permit .

    Both pipes replaced today, very straight forward, while I was at did a fluid flush using a kit from Halfords worked perfectly the only thing is next time I am doing the job is to have a syringe to hand as the kit overfills the reservoir and some fluid has to be syphoned off.

    Happy days. Was it the brake bleed kit that's pressurised from a car tyre?

    Yea that's the one. It's been a job I have been putting off for a while as it turned out lifting each corner and removing the wheel was the most awkward part that and the shite weather
