I have a small leak from a banjo bolt on the SMC.
Replacing the washers as a first step seems easy - except it's impossible to get a socket with a torque wrench onto it. The wheel is in the way. Even with a long extension through the wheel then the rim and the RHS caliper is in the way.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to remove/replace banjo bolts on the LHS caliper?
Haynes manual just says "Replacement is the reverse of removal" after removing the caliper for overhaul.
I'm not sure that 34Nm torque will be possible without it attached to something solid.
I guess the first thing is to unbolt the caliper and try but hoping to do it in one go rather than leave the job half done.
Any ideas??
TIA
