Replacing the brake pipe on the caliper
The new brake pipe you put on must be treated so it will last for many years.
You can for instance put on a layer of Owatrol and 2-3 layers of lacquer made for high temperatures.
Then polish and lacquer sealer.
Do also remember to give the brake pipe on the other caliper the same treatment.

Disassembly
- Clean well.
- Remove the screws D and E.
- Unscrew F.
- Unscrew C.
- Unscrew B if there is no bracket on the new pipe.
Assembly
- Mount the brake pipe on C (remember copper washer). NB! See to that
the flexible brake pipe C is connected to don't get twisted!!! (Can be difficult.)
It must hang in a nice bow after the brake pipe is mounted.
- Mount F (see to that there are copper washers on both sides).
- Mount D and E (put a little copper paste on the threads).
- Bleed the brakes.

C can be terribly stuck. (It can be smart to fasten A in a wise.)
Be careful so you don't damage the new brake pipe,
if you take it from another car.
It would be best to put on new copper washers.
If you are using the old ones, they have to be glowed before mounting.
(Warm them till they get white glowing, and then put them in cold water.)
