I have 312mm TT Brakes waiting to go on in my garage, do i need any special tools to fit these?

nope

just a socket set and some spanners from memory

you'll need something to bleed the brakes with

yeah and that lol /\

Bleed diagonally like front to back or just the front? Was hoping not to bleed them if i get the old hose off and new one on quick.

Best let someone fit them for you me thinks

Aye the man is a comedian.

If you try this approach let us know which roads you're on so we can avoid the area.

You will just need to bleed the fronts.

Slacked of the nippel with a rubber hose attatched, put the end of the hose in a half filled bottle of brake fluid and get somone to pump the pedal.

Keep topping the resivour up. Get your assistant to hold down the pedal and tighten the nippel.

Do the same again on the other side.

Its not a hard job to do at all upgrading to the 312's took me less than an hour in my drive.

Look better and brake much better!

If you are going to use the advice above do NOT pump the pedal all the way to the floor.

These are being put on next week and new fluid bled through, believe it or not i have city & guilds in car/van brake fitting.
