Remove rear triangle

[Endurip]

Hi, sending my rear triangle for a warranty issue. But I got stuck trying to remove the rear brake cable on thru the triangle. Because of the “holder “ it is stuck and I don’t know what to do…

A bit of advice would be highly appreciated!

It's a hose, not a cable.
You'll have to cut the fitting off.
When reassembling, you'll have to install a new fitting and bleed the brake.

But how will I install a new fitting?
Cutting the existing one of might make the HOSE to short….

If you are careful you can cut it so just the olive part gets cut. That's less than 1 cm.

Thanks,
But can’t I use the old fitting again?
How will I attach it, or a new one?

You just get a new olive and a new barb. The barb can be a bit difficult to get in without the right tool though. But it's not that difficult.
See how here

And now I’m stuck again!
Can I remove the hose from the magnet cover?
Otherwise I won’t be able to remove the rear triangle.

Have you considered taking this to your local bike shop and have them sorting it out for you?
Sometimes admitting defeat isn’t a bad thing when it’s past your skill set.

That was my plan at first, then I thought it perhaps wasn’t gonna be that hard. The thing is, now when 90percent is done I would like to know how to remove the magnet in order to complete it. If the magnet can’t be removed then I’m afraid there are few bike shops around here that would help me, I’m afraid. Then I’ll have to leave the bike there again for assembly.

To get the magnet reader off, you may have to drop the motor and unplug the magnet cable and pull it through. That is, unless you can just unplug it at the magnet sensor end. I haven't tried with these new fancy ones, but with the old ones you had to pull them all the way through.
