FAQs

What tools do I need for installation?

You will need a hose cutter, wrench, torque wrench, and possibly a bleed kit.

What is the correct torque specification?

Refer to the Shimano service documentation for your specific brake system model.

How do I know if my brakes need bleeding?

If your brake lever feels spongy or you are experiencing a loss of braking power, your brakes likely need bleeding.

Can I reuse the olive?

It is recommended to replace the olive with a new one each time you replace or disconnect the hose.

Are these bolts and olives compatible with all Shimano brakes?

No, these are specifically designed for SM-BH59 and SM-BH62 hoses. Check compatibility before purchase.

How often should I replace the olives and bolts?

Replace them whenever you replace or disconnect the brake hose, or if you notice any leaks.

Troubleshooting

Brake fluid leaking from the connection.

Tighten the connecting bolt to the correct torque specification. If the leak persists, replace the olive and bolt.

Brakes feel spongy after replacement.

Bleed the brake system to remove air bubbles. Ensure the system is properly bled after any hose or component replacement.

Bolt stripping during installation.

Use the correct tools and torque specifications. If stripped, replace the bolt and consider using a thread locker.
