Opening the MT09 brake holder

[wascallyrabbit]

Does any one know how this clamp opens? Its the metal one on the right fork for the brake line.

should just be a mushroomed plastic rivet like thingy. If I remember correctly.
Just pull it out, or look around back to see if it's sticking through.

 

[wascallyrabbit]

this one is a metal one. I know how to do the plastic ones.

Maybe circle what you're asking about?

 

[wascallyrabbit]

The clamp in question is ion the red circle. Not really visible is a small metal tab on the back.

If it is like any other bike I've owned, it is just a pressure fitting to ensure proper hose routing. The hose should pop right out. Occasionally, you have to flex the metal bracket open a small amount. Just be sure to flex it back in before reinserting the hose to ensure it stays in there.

I'll give that a try. It do has come out so I can put the new brake line in.

On occasion, they do add a dab of adhesive between the slice in the rubber or the rubber and the metal bracket.

 

[wascallyrabbit]

No adhesive. open right up as soon as you take the bolt holding the back side in. but yes it tight fit to make so the hose doesn't slip and slide.
Now the fun begins.
