What Keith said. Also, consider using a flare brake line wrench, (they look like a box-end with a slit in the side). When I had a persisent leak on a new line, I could not get it tight enough to stop

A leak-free joint is formed when the inner surface of the flare is firmly and uniformly pressed against a half-round fitting inside the mating component. Take a light and look inside the brake line

I gave all my existing brake lines and fittings to the shop. All that came back screwed on fine and tightened up okay. I am fairly confident that the proper fittings are on my lines. I did go fairly

Hello John, I wonder if the seats are removeable especially the ones in the proportioning valve. I had the new line redone twice and it did not seem to make any difference. I will try and get a bette

In 1967 I was stranded in the middle of the country when a front brake line broke on my new 1966 1600. (It was my fault.) I went into a car parts place and when they were done laughing (what's a Dats
