REAR BRAKE LINES:
HEL Rear Lines were installed and brake calipers and pads serviced. (obvious steps not shown)
DIFFICULTY: Intermediate
PATIENCE REQUIREMENT: Expert
INVENTORY:
Rachet
8mm spanner
8mm socket
10mm spanner
12mm socket
Torque wrench
HEL rear brake lines
HEL bolt (each bolt comes with 2 copper crush washers)
From top to bottom, in pucture:
- Front Fork
- Master Cylinder to ABS modulator block
- Rear Brake to ABS modulator
- ABS modulator to rear brake valve (near rider foot plate)
STEP1 - Bleed brakes - not shown here, EUROPAT VIZIBLEED brake and clutch bleeder used (google it!), you can anything you feel fit, I have not shown the step here.
Use a cloth on paintwork at all times, rinse with water if you have a leak or spill while bleeding.
STEP 2: Remove the reservoir, 8mm bolt unscrewed from bracket and it comes off. (refer service manual if you are in doubt)
STEP 3: My fingers point to 2 rear lines that run into the modulator this sits near the right hand side of the rear suspension.
These are two idividual blocks which are held together using a screw. It is also held to the frame with a bracket.
Close up shot of the ABS modulator tie in with rear brakes,
Use 10mm spanner to undo the 'nut screw' head from the block.
8mm socket to remove the entire bracket for easy of access
There is bolt hidden under the wire clip on the left wich holds both the blocks together. (use 8mm spanner or socket)
I had issue with the block holding screw so drilled it out and replaced with another screw.. I think its M6 x16
STEP 4: Connect new new blocks connectors to ABS modulator steel lines.
Brackets were not installed at this stage.
TIP: this is a hard to work space, so slowly bend the lines outwards towards you. makes aligning the thread heads easy.
