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 bavarians cuhurch 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.
