have been cut too short, it is not possible to subsequently attach an extension!
When shortening, a hose cutter or a sharp knife may be used but not scissors
or side cutters. You want a nice square end on the hose. It may also be necessary
to shorten the outer protective hose.
15. Push the supplied brass end fitting into the end of the hose. To do this, taken the hose
in one hand and press in the brass end fitting against a solid object. Push it on until it
bottoms on a larger diameter section. Slide the retaining nut onto the end of the hose,
then push on the symmetrical olive. (fig. 3)
16. The assistance of a second person is very helpful for the next step in order to avoid
the loss of fluid! The helper brings the master cylinder from the workbench and holds
it with one hand close to the end of the hose with the open connection facing upwards.
(fig. 5) With the other hand the lever is slowly actuated until fluid can be seen in the
connection. Make sure that no fluid escapes! Then keep the lever in this position.
Now feed the end of hose as far as it will go into the connection, keeping it centered
and then push the olive with the retaining nut into the connection and screw the retai-
ning nut into the master cylinder with a 8 mm wrench to a torque of 35 inch pounds.
The resulting deformation of the olive seals the system. The helper can now release
the lever. All the remaining work can be carried out alone.
17. Slip the protective hose over the retaining screw.
