   Has anybody fitted the newer goodridge hose kit 104 to m775 disc brakes?
   These are the braided hoses that you dont have to trim 11mm back of the clear sleave.
   I get one end but how do i screw the other end in that use's 3 pieces?
   I have kit 104 that uses the stainless version of the below
   Going from the left to right
   1.Insert
   2.Insert
   3.hose Sleave
   4.Hose Sleave
   5.Threaded sleave
   

   2 and 3 go together no problem but how do i screw 1,3 and 5 into the hose?
   screwing the insert into the hose seems impossible without ruining the insert with a pair of pliars!

   put 3.sleave onto hose, put 5.threaded sleave onto 1.insert...?

   You need a tool to lock the connector into so you can wind it into the hose.
   Basically, you wind the parts far left and far right together into a fitting tool and then screw that onto the connector sleeve that you press over the hose.
   It's a hell of a job without the tool, and it'll probably damage the connector if you clamp it in a vice.

   The only way around it is to use the lever body as the tool by fitting the connector into it when it's removed from the bike and spinning it to fit the hose. then removing the hose once the connectors are fitted and re-installig the lever to the bike before installing the hose and bleeding the brake as you would normally.

   If thismakes no sense, I'm notsurprised. As it's so much easier with the tool. you don't need to **** about with it then.

   Why is there no mention of a tool in the crappy fitting instructions?

   It doesn't matter which end really, but is chopar pain in star one to go into the lever. You can wrap it in a rag and clamp it in a vice to hold it still. Did it recently, as long as you don't overtighten the vice so it doesn't crush the end, its fine.
