    Hey MS..extra bracket on the GT2008FT brake hoses??

    Hey MS

    On the GT2008FT install how do you deal with the extra bracket
    midway on the OEM brake hoses? Just trim the tab? Carefully remove the whole bracket from the hose?

    When I saw these posts I got motivated and finally did my front hoses yesterday.  Since the small bracket is swedged on to the hose, I figured I couldn't remove it without compromising the hose.  I cut off the tab with a band saw and then ground some of the remaining lip material down on a bench grinder while making sure I didn't get it too hot.  I probably left about a 1/16" rim.  It doesn't interfere with anything when in place.

    GPatrick has it right.  Be careful not to get it too hot.
