Howdy y'all, bought a rusty jeep and the hard brake lines started breaking when I did some basic brake work. I decided to go with a full SS hardline kit from SSTubes, as I didn't want to fool around with flaring and bending everything myself, and new Raybesto soft lines. Everything went together fairly easy (with the exception of the front right line... routing that was a PITA). All was well till I realized that, under pressure, my front left line was leaking where it connected to the brand new softline. It appears to be seated squarily and tightened down (maybe too much) but still it has a weap under pressure.
Question are:
- How does one go about diagnosing what is causing this poor connection?
- Any ancient chinese secrets to fixing this annoying issue?
- Is it possible for the softline to be bad straight from the factory?
Hoping not to have to go buy a flaring tool for this one connection (fingers crossed) Thanks!
