[leevtr]

Am I not looking properly?? I cant find any info here on changing hoses. Could use haynes manual, but thought I'd look here first.

Hey Lee - I've bookmarked this for when I do mine, plus the manual

best trick is to take the whole set up off the bike and then do the swapping and bleeding on the floor of your garage.
this allows you to bleed each of the banjo joints as well as the normal bleed nipples, so is much easier and faster, it also ensures you dont get brake fluid over your bodywork when you take the old hoses off, and when you have the calipers off it is a good idea to pump the pistons out and give them a very good clean before you build it back up.

see this thread for what I did
