A word of caution: I was advised against using Nevr-Seez (the
aluminum-based stuff) on my brake line fittings. It is rumored to react
with brake fluid and cause corrosion.
However I think it should be fine if you use DOT5... (here we go again..)
Can anyone else support or rebuke this? I put some heavy grease over the
fittings after they were tight, but maybe that's not a good idea either.
It also helps if you bleed your brakes once in a while (ie every 2
years)-- when the screws haven't been touched in 30 years they tend to get
stuck.
It's also a good idea to visually check them now and again and make sure
the little rubber dust boot hasn't come off the bleeders.
