I have Shimano XT M765 disc brakes with the XT dual control levers. My rear brake was getting mushy so I figured that before I bled the system I would install a new brake hose. How the heck do you get the hose out of the master cylinder after the connecting bolt has been loosened and backed out all the way? I figured that when the connecting bolt was removed that the hose would come right out. I pulled on it with quite a bit of force and no way was it coming out so I quit before I screwed it up to get some advice from you guys. Luckily I didn't cut the old hose and reattached, filled and bled and it works fine but I would still like to get the new hose on so any advice or know how would be greatly appreciated.

the ones i've worked on have always pulled right out. why replace the hose anyways?
