Magura HS33 hoses - insert or not?

(1/1)

Savara:
Hi all. New here so firstly, hi!
I'm the proud owner of a new Raven that I'm currently building with parts from another bike. I need to shorten the hose for the rear brake so have ordered new olives. There's also an "insert" that I cannot seem to fathom, Is this inserted into the end of the hose? The Magura manual just shows the olive and the 8mm insert being used??

PH:
You may already have the answer...
Yes, the insert goes into the hose, otherwise the olive might deform the hose rather than itself.  There's a good demo here. it's for a Shimano brake but the idea is the same

Savara:
Cheers for that. There's plenty of videos around that totally omit the insert part!
