hi all im putting black diamond brakelines on my puma and so far have done the fronts
you will need
13mm brake line spanner for where pipe joins hose
small flathead screwdriver to take clip out
17mm spanner for big bolt on new brake lines
15mm socket to take clamp off suspension
11mm brakeline spanner for where hose goes into caliper
clingfilm for brake resivoir
dot 4 brake fluid
and a chisel to open old clamp up to pull old hose out and put around new braided line
to start with go around with wd40 to help undo everything
below wd40 on 11mm hose
then wd40 on clamp
then wd40 on pipe to hose
then undo all very slightly so you will know they all will undo when changing
pipe to hose 13mm
clamp 15mm
then pull clip out with flathead screwdriver
clamp off
then with all else undone spin hose out of caliper have braided line ready to go straight back on the black diamond have 2 long lines and 2 shorter note the longer are for the front
braided line into caliper
then braided line into pipe make sure it flows same way as origonal hose put clip in and tighten bolt
seperate origonal clamp from hoses i put in a vice and chseled them out didnt mark them but would not have mattered as they get chucked away anyway
put bracket back on pop braided line in clamp with pliers macking sure there where you want them they had a rubber coler on saying black diamond so put that where it goes through the clamp
then bleed the brakes
i forgot to say take top off the resivoir at the start and create vacum with cling film so youll loose less brake fluid
this is how i done mine i cant take any responsibility if someone does it wrong as i worked it out this way myself.
hope this helps people i will put the rears on here when i manage to do them.
