Hi,

I broke my Juicy 3 calliper over the weekend and have picked up a second hand one off ebay that should arrive this week.. The hose on the one off ebay is just a little shorter than the one I have currently on my bike so chances are I am going to have to use my original hose..

So the question really is can I simply unbolt it from the old one and bolt it to the new one and then bleed the system or is there more to it than that? I mean I don't know if the hose connections are single use or if its just a seal..

Where is the cheapest place to get a bleed kit or is there a cheaper way to make up a bleed kit?

Any other advice on doing this would be welcome.. Don't want to end up breaking something else.. :)

    yep just unscrew and fit the the other caliper.

    buy an Avid bleed kit.
