brake hose twisted

Post by milo »

When I replace the rear brake caliper (passenger side) into the yoke, I end up with half a twist in the rubber flexible hose. Not enough to actually kink the hose, but I'd like to get rid of this. But how? There must be a simple way to do this.
Thanks!

You have to loosen the connection to the metal line and turn the hose while keeping the metal line from turning.
