In the dark hours of last night, I believe I stripped (or uncovered that
the DPO had stripped) the connection between the master cylinder's brake
pipe and the 4-way brake pipe union. The coupling bolt on the pipe just
turns and does not "bite" into the 4-way union threads. The 4-way union
is rather inaccessible and I am fearful that if I disconnect the other
three connections to remove and inspect the union, I will find that they
too are bodged. Are there any "tricks of the trade" to get the coupling
bolt to seat in the union threads without removing of the union, or, God
forbid, replacing both the union and the brake pipe for $75. Or will I
have to just put the time in to remove them for inspection and
replacement. I am obviously trying to save work (i.e. precious free
time), which is less than optimal. But I want to get in the last few
weeks of good driving weather. Thank you.
