HEL Brake Lines - Stainless Steel Motorcycle Performance Brake Line And Brake Hose Kits

Fitting Instructions

Cut hose to suit your system using sharp cable cutters or a small hacksaw. If using a hacksaw wrap insulation tape tightly around hose and cut half way along the tape. This will keep the hose from fraying. Carefully remove 8mm of the outer pvc cover from each end of the hose by using a sharp blade - be careful with sharp blades as the pvc cover comes off easily without force.

Gently push the swage ferrule onto the hose feeding the steel braid inside the ferrule by rotating the ferrule as you push it onto the hose. Make sure the lip of the ferrule sits on top of the hose.

Push a small braddle or equivalent pointed instrument into the hose to make the tube as round as possible. Push the hose tail into the centre of the ferrule ensuring that it goes into the centre of the hose. Push the fitting into the hose until it comes to rest on top of the ferrule. Fitting is now ready to be swaged.

Place ferrule into the swaging jaws supplied with the kit.

Place in the MIDDLE of a vice as shown. Tighten the vice fully until both swaging jaws are tight together - swaging is complete but with the added benefit that the fitting can still be rotated for alignment after manufacture.

General Fitting Instructions

Fittings can still be aligned (rotated) AFTER swaging so that the hose does not twist when fitted.

When fitting a male swivel fitting screw the male into the M6 - M8 adapter supplied with the kit to keep it out of the way of the swage jaws and then remove it after swaging.
