Re: Brake hose help!

Yep, turns out it was an easy solution. There was so much gunk on the fitting I didnt notice that the brass adapter was screwed on and not part of the hose. I got them both off the old hoses so I should be all set.

Brake hose help!

I am replacing all the rubber flex lines on my M43 and I have noticed the replacement hoses arent the same.
