wheel cyl/brk hose leak - 06/08/20 07:50 PM
Well here I am back with a brake related question Last April I replaced front shoes, wheel cyl and brk hose on my 47. The question then was whether or not there should be a washer at the brake line/wheel cyl connection. The answer given was yes a copper washer should be there. I have been trying ever since then to get that connection completely sealed. It has seeped fluid ever since. Leave car sit over night and put you finger on it the finger will come back a little wet from fluid. I have tried a different copper washer, tried a different hose and the darn thing still seeps a little. Figured I got a bad wheel cylinder so I ordered another cyl and brake hose from a different supplier (NAPA) than the prev ones came from. This cyl came with a copper washer. Put everything together and it still seeps. Surely two cylinder each from different supplier would be bad (possible they get them from same manufacturer) Question is : Has anyone else had a similar problem recently ? I've replaced cyl & hoses many times over the years and never had this problem. Appreciate advice, thoughts, comments, etc.
