The OP is doing calipers at the same time as replacing rear sub frame, thus it depends how fast he goes, but may not want to do a drain down due to primary & secondry circuit air ingress.

Provided it is bled correctly and methodically after, air will not be an issue. These systems would have been empty of fluid at least once in its life, and was successfully filled. I like your idea of cutting the hose, and screw, which is probably what I would do if the hoses were being replaced. But even then gravity would do its thing until the point of fitting the screw.

Thanks for all the ideas chaps - I'm inwardly digesting them.
Meanwhile, what about this (screwed into hose end)? https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/13285443956...SABEgLjz_D_BwE Or this in the pipe end? https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/2-X-Brass-B...mec/1024835760. I can't see a thread. I phoned this place - they're with a customer so I'll phone back - https://creationsmotorsport.com/inde...bung-1217.html Or - https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/s...urer:goodridge Last edited by Blink; 20th September 2019 at 14:45.. |

A number of complicated ideas here.--
Just use the double round bar clamp. It won't damage any hose and can be used in the future if you need to work on the calipers. It won't leak and unless you hit it with a sledge hammer it won't come off. Happy clamping.-- |

We just used to use a brake pipe union with a short stub of pipe pinched and folded over coming out the other side...
Of course you'll need some brake pipe, the right union and a flaring tool to do this. On second thoughts just jam up a union with something and screw it on the end of the pipe.
