Title: DIY R32 Fitting - Help need with brake lines.
Post by: GTI-Ross on June 25, 2014, 09:35:10 pm

Hey guys, Im thinking about fitting my front R32 brake set myself this weekend or next. I know how to change the pads and rotors, but im unsure when it comes to undoing the brakes lines. My set comes with the long R32 ones.

I cant find a video or documents online about it. If the reservoir cap in on, do you just undo the brake line and suction / gravity holds the fluid up or will it come poring out?

Does anyone have a video or a guide to follow. Thanks
