Ok I was doing some brake work and the driver's side front brake line. THe one that goes from the RUBBER line to the Caliper is leaking where it meets the caliper.

We have already tried two different hard lines but both leak. We are kind of out of ideas so could any of you all provide some tips?



Help appreciated. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

where does it leak? where it connects into the caliper?



check the threads on the fittings, and remove the caliper as well.



install the line into the caliper while you have it removed, see if it has any play in it, it shouldnt be able to move, at all. If there's some play and the fitting isnt stripped check the threads where the fitting goes into on the caliper, the caliper itself may be stripped or worn.



also if it leaks from the top of the fitting make sure the end is flared properly, im guessing it is since you've tried two different ones.
