Technical Stilo rear caliper

[StiloHal]

Hi, anyone know a trick to get the flexi-hoses to line up without twisting when rear calipers are replaced? :bang:
Also my NSR caliper brake pipe joint is still tightening and I'm scared stupid of shearing the connector !

It just happened to line up perfectly for me but I was scared it wouldn't

The only way I found was to undo the hose from the solid brake line, fit the caliper end first then refit the other end to the solid line. That way its perfect.

If you do try it this way, spray loads of penetrating fluid and let it soak before attempting the loosen the bolt.

I considered that and as you note, it's corroded up and I was worried about it breaking. Good tip, cheers !

Anyway, the supplier sent the wrong discs so I'll have to strip the caliper off again when I receive the right ones ... happy times :-s
