got the old one off but can't get the bugger back on.....(the ring onto hose)
bit of a bugger to get free too...
Also use a new olive. Its the law.
'always' use a new olive...?
bugger. everything is closed tomorrow because of the stupid catholic [s]bavarians[/s] [s]cuhurch[/s] goverment.....
wait till monday.... 🙁
ive done it before sucessfully but you have to be very careful chances are you'll squash the olive but worth ago if its this or nothing
Hope its fine to - shitmano I doubt you can
What tj said, i have done it with Hopes loads of times.
Should have added, I was assuming it was Shimano as never been able to re-usue one. But then my toolkit only consists of hammers.
Yep, Hope are the only ones I know of where it will work.
worth a try - you'll find out pretty quick if it won't work and then you'd have to get a new one anyway
Use a new one if you have some but if not try the old ones and pull the lever fairly hard after to see if its worked. Had a hope one fail once when I reused it
I did it with a shimano one had to cut the cable out the inside very fiddly but it works
I'm pretty sure the shimano olives are designed to be one-shot, they're hard to get off the hose because they compress under pressure, just like a brake banjo crush washer. No doubt you can reuse them just like you can crush washers, but it's probably not the best idea.
