How many banjo bolts for the front brake?

[Guest]

My kit contained this:

Two big ones and six small ones. I think I need four small ones and one big one. 2x small for calipers, one big for the splitter, one small for the splitter and one small for the master.

Am I missing something? Did they send me too many bolts just to mess with me?

No, you're right. One for each caliper, one each for M/C and splitter, and a double for the splitter.

Darn Snell trying to make me doubt my sanity. I guess then I can get these on the front too... They worked great on the rear, but the pedal is a lot stiffer now.

And last time I bled the brakes I didn't even make a mess, so thats promising.

They might have provided a "full-bike" kit, which would have included two more small ones for the rear. :-k

It was a full bike kit, and the two for the rear is already mounted. So I am not sure where the two small mystery and the one big mystery goes. I started with the rear because I have no skill with brakes and had to make sure this was within my level of skill.

Rear works great now but the pedal is a lot stiffer than before. I believe that is normal.

I mounted the front brakes. I can really recommend this kit, it fits right, and works great. Not sure about durability yet though. But it takes the challenge out of the process. I think its great for someone that wants a plug-and-play solution.

The brake lever feels stiffer, and the brakes seems more responsive.

Bleeding the front was a pain, I wasn't getting any pressure but clear fluid was leaving. So I tied a rag around the brake lever and left it for a couple of hours. When I came back it worked as expected. The master cylinder is probably full of gunk (even the splitter was gunky).
