SteveW Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Hi Folks wondering if someone can help, I wnet to try and fit my HEL lines last weekend but got a bit stuck..... First off the front has a hardline-------flexi-------metal block------flexi------ caliper Rear has hardline------flexi--------hardline------caliper My HEL kit is a 4 line kit, can someone give me a clue as to how the lines fit? I've had a serach and can't really find anything, some pictures would be awesome! I'm guessing on the front go straight from hardline to caliper but at the back I couldn't work out if you were supposed remove the hardline coming out of the Brembo and put the line straight into the caliper or just remove the flexi line??? Additionally the nuts on the lines are seized to the lines themselves. I've soaked them in penetrant but when you try and undo the nut from the flexi line the hardline rotates with the nut. Obviously I didn't keep turning it because the hardline was moving too so I downed tools and thought I'd ask some questions first! I'm pretty mechanically minded and now feel ashamed I need to ask Thank you Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Do what I did and take it to a garage.... I was charged 1.5hr labour.... I know it's not a solution, but an easy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 The Hel lines go straight to the calipers and you do away with the oem hard lines. Remember and fit the copper washers at the banjos Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieB Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Take a look at these pictures to give you an idea. As Alex says - do away with the metal blocks and lines from calipers. Don't forget to bleed.......the brake lines afterwards that is! Front: Rear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Thank you RichieB for the pics that is just what I was after, makes it very clear Thanks for the heads up Alex I don't think I have any copper washers, I had best check, I bought the lines used so may have to contact Hel for some if there aren't any. Thanks again, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
