Hi all,

I went over on sunday to hua chin to buy and install Hel brake hoses(fr & rear)

I was very disappointed by their so called worksmanship.Thier bleeding skill is beyond standard.They r still using DOT3 instead of DOT4.No proper bleeding tools.The worst part was tat they drip brake fluids all over my rim and tire.I was too late to stop them.Nw my painted rim and my tire is stained beyond cleaning.If I know tats the way they do it,I will never go there.

I dun mind paying more for a gd job but nw looks like I gt to do double jobs(spray paint my rims again)

 

 

Anyone out there whom thought of going there to change their brake hoses,think again.

 

After a few days of riding,think one of the end nut is slowly leaking fluids.

brake pump is already on ur bike already. wat bike u riding?

 

anyway, there's not much diff between dot 3 and dot 4 except the higher temp resistant level. not much diff with the performance

[type G]

its too pump out the dot 4 then you can refiled in new dot 4

Yes.it is included.

 

 

There is a certain tools(like a bottle shape) used to suck out the air bubbles in the new brake hoses.Brake hoses shouldnt have air bubbles inside as it will cause braking nt smooth and problem.

Correct me if I am wrong.

 

 

 

Steel brake hoses is to replace common rubber hoses as rubber hoses when ages will expand and braking power will fade.Steel hoses wouldnt and u can feel the bite more.Braking power will increase.

 

As my S4 is aly 5yrs plus old,I think its time to change it.
