but now that I've cut the hose and changed the barb and olive, the lock nut is only going in about 2/3 in by hand.

There is normally a rubber sleeve that slides back over, as it doesn't go all the way back in. If it's not off camera and not fitted... maybe next time :)

If you can find a crows foot tool that works with a torque wrench, it's very reassuring, they do go in quite hard (8nm). Guess the point is you are trying to crush something a little.

crows foot tool

Very cool, will look out for one. Yeah i put the rubber boot on before and it slid back over fine. Took it for a local spin and the bite point is quite low so will def need a top up, time to dig out my old epic bleed kit and see if any of it is useable.

If you want to borrow the crows foot or a bleed kit, slide into the DMs
