And no before anyone wants to be funny that isn’t a euphemism. 🙂

I need to take my brakes apart and whilst I am new to doing it I reckon it can't be too difficult. The hose came out of the front calliper with a little bit of force but the back just won’t effing budge. Does anyone have any tips or is it to the LBS with my tail between my legs?

Undo the locknut same as you did on the front one.

Then pull the lever while you're pulling the hose out of the caliper.

Cheers, I'll give that a go although I have already managed to get some air in the system.
