FAQs
Is this part compatible with other brake brands?
No, the EC-DB012 is designed specifically for Campagnolo disc brake calipers.
Do I need to replace the olive when using a new compression nut?
Yes, it is highly recommended to use a new olive whenever you replace or remove the compression nut to ensure a perfect hydraulic seal.
Does this package come with an olive?
The EC-DB012 refers to the compression nut; check your specific vendor packaging to see if an olive is bundled, though typically it is sold as the nut component.
Can I reuse this nut after removing it?
It is generally best practice to use a new nut if the threads show any signs of wear or deformation during removal.
What is the recommended torque for this nut?
Always refer to the Campagnolo service manual for your specific brake model to find the correct torque setting in Newton meters (Nm).
Troubleshooting
Brake lever feels spongy after installation
This often indicates air in the system or a loose compression nut. Re-bleed the brakes and check the nut for proper tightness.
Fluid weeping from the caliper port
The compression nut may not be tightened to specification or the olive has been deformed incorrectly. Re-seat the line and tighten.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the EC-DB012 requires careful attention to detail. Ensure that the hydraulic hose is cut cleanly and perfectly square before sliding the compression nut and olive onto the line. When threading the nut into the caliper, always start the process by hand to avoid cross-threading, which can result in costly damage to the brake caliper body. This part is compatible with all current Campagnolo disc brake calipers. For care, keep the area around the nut clean of debris and brake fluid residue, and always verify that the torque specifications align with the official Campagnolo technical manual for your specific caliper model.
