Technical Brake Hose replacement

[RDS]

Can anyone please advise how difficult it is on a 1500 right hand drive car to replace the dual brake hoses from the brake reservoir to the master cylinder?

Any tips/gotchas/hacks most appreciated.

Is access a problem? Sealing the bulkhead?

thanks in advance

Hi RDS

If i remember back 25 years and the rest probably, its a job where you will be on your back in the footwell of your car working with your arms up in the air and getting brake fluid in your face.

so not the most pleasant job but it will be vital to protect yourself well.

Take care

Many thanks Timmy

it looks like a real faff: the seal on the bulkhead needs to be broken (with inevitable consequences) and I could not even see where the second hose attaches to the master cylinder (I assume it does?)

Access in the foot well is very limited.

Anyone done this recently and would like to add to world knowledge, please?

cheers
