essex rider Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 you can buy a spacer so it doesnt go as far when you tighten the hose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boofont Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 So when you say lever you mean the whole assembley, as in the resi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan bechard Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 I am guessing you are changing the front master, and you are leaving the hose attached to the caliper? disconnect the hose from the caliper, screw it into the master, then reinstal the banjo on the caliper. Then Bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpa3 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Sorry for stating the obvious, but you did fit new washers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seandellear Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Take the whole asembly off and wind that onto the hose then nip the nut up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ned1 Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 sorry i havnt replied..i havnt had the internet for a few days. i have bought a new master cylinder and i havnt bought new washers....i am going to buy a new washer though to see if that works. I have tried all the other ways including screwing the hose into the master cylinder and then tightening the banjo in but the hose still twists....although i will get a washer and report back.
