Galfer Lines Installation
Couldn't a pro make the same mistakes? They would still avoid liability for anything other than
Leak in the line itself or the banjo fitting coming loose from the line.
I've emailed them...let's see what they have to say.

They sent me back some photos and instructions on doing it myself. I had no problem with the idea of doing the work myself, just that warning gave me a moment of pause. I guess we live in a litigious society and they felt a need to protect themselves.
They did however suggest loading the lever for 3 hours with a zip-tie before the first ride. It should reveal any installation defects along with checking for binding and interference.

They want 1 hr. labor time to do the lines. I can buy a vacuum bleeder for less than that and do it myself.Getting that reservoir cover off with the stripped screws are going to be a PITA, but I think I can bling the replacements.
just make a groove like this ---- across the bolt and then use a flat head to extract it. that's what i did with mine.
yes, after you bleed and stuff, use the zip tie on the lever over night.

Aight mang.
I got one screw out using a flatblade and hammer. The other is buggered pretty bad, and that WAS the good screw. Seems like they tightened since this post was made.
Any other bright ideas?
Anyone know the size screw to replace them with? I think I'll go with an allen head this time.

I say leave the rear brake stock.
Screws and bolts go bad when you take off/ put on/ take off/ put on. It's why Honda says to replace them, soft metals I guess.
I'll reserve the Brembo MC for a future racebike (if WERA allows it).
