I would really like to drive my Jeep since it has been sitting in my workshop for 5 months, but I have no brakes!!!!
I just finished my lift (Full Traction 6" LA) and installed new longer SS brake lines and every one of them leak where they attach to the hard lines. I have tightened them up as much as I dare and they still leak. I pulled them all off yesterday and you can see on the SS brake line - the inner cone - where the flared hard line didn't seal. You can see where the metal made contact and where it didn't. Are the SS lines defective or do I need to reflare my hard lines? My stock brake lines weren't leaking before I replaced them. Any thoughts or tricks? Help, I need to go wheeling!!!
