lupohillman Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 I replaced the rear brake pads and disks on my lupo this morning and noticed a small fluid leak from the flexi pipe which comes straight from the caliper. Is it possible to replace just the small flexi pipe?Ive never replaced brake pipes so dont have much knowlege on them.The pipe is about 200mm long and one end bolts straight to the caliper with a banjo like connection and hte other is connected to the solid brake pipe, with another connection.How do I connect the new brake pipe to the solid one as I cant figure out how they are joined.Does anybody know the part number for this?Its a 52' Lupo Sport.Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 No it's not possible to change the rubber part. Need the whole hose/pipe from the dealers which is £30-40.Are you sure it's not just the washers leaking on the bolt that goes into the caliper? They are aluminium washers, and corrode away.

lupohillman Posted September 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Oh thats a pain. Its coming from the metal connection about 20mm from the bolt. So the whole thing will need to be replaced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupohillman Posted September 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2010 Does anybody know the part number for this?I have found a 'rear brake hose' for £7.04 but this seems very cheap if I need both the rubber and solid pipe.

You wont get them anywhere else. I can make the after market ones, but they are a pain to do, not sure if i want to do any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
