Tomb Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I'm about to fit all new discs, rotors, hel brake lines at the weekend but before I do I have a couple of questions Uno - reading through the hel bake line instructions briefly today it was saying about banjo bolts and copper washers that should have been supplied who the kit ... I diffinatly don't have either of these in the box .. And they where bought brand new?mshould they be in there or are they not need on zeds? Dos - is there a decent guide to fitting front and rear lines, disc and rotors .. Found a few but they seem to be all front .. Is it just a case of the rears are the same as the fronts? Tom.

rothers2901 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 The rears are pretty much the same as the fronts. Remove the pads and caliper and remove the rotor (remember to take the handbrake off). Depending on the condition of the internal brake shoes the rotor should come straight off (sometimes a small lip is made preventing this). If not, manually wind back the shoes until they become clear of the inner walls (Through the small rubber plug). Replace in the opposite way. You may need to reset you handbrake lever.

WhackyWill Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 There been a few problems documented on here about HEL Lines. Use the search facility or Mr Google. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Had mine on for 4 years, no problems when fitted and none since If I remember correctly the problem relates to incorrect fitting (bracket) on mobile so not easy to search Sent from my Zed using Nangkang tyres front, RE040's rear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jp606 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 When I fitted my HELs, they were the latest kit where the fronts had a screw in fitment like OEM and the rears had banjos, all four used to be banjos with the original kits. They may have changed it now so all four are like OEM, if that's the case then no you don't need to copper washers and nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjt Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 My HEL lines didn't come with any fixing clips, so I had to buy these http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/hose-clips/automec-rubber-lined-p-clips Make sure that you turn the steering lock to lock once on the ground to check that the lines do not rub on the wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
