In order to check that the ends of the hose are
fitted securely into the base of the hose mounts of
the calipers and brake lever, make marks on the
hose beforehand as shown in the illustration.
(As a guide, the length of hose inside the mounts
should be approximately 14 mm, measured from
the cut end of the hose.)

3.
Use an object such as a needle to smooth the inside
of the cut end of the hose, and then install the
connector insert. Attach the hose to the TL-BH61 as
shown in the illustration, and secure the TL-BH61 in
a vise. Then use a hammer or similar tool to knock
the connector insert in firmly until the base of the
connector insert touches the end of the hose. If the
end of the hose is not touching the base of the
connector insert, the hose may become
disconnected or fluid leaks may
occur.
