Replaced original brake lines recently. Can’t get the brake fluid to stop leaking out from where new line is spliced in to the old.

Hi,

I need to know if the new lines are steel, if you flared the new steel line, and what was used to join the two lines, did you join two steel lines together and with what, and anything else you can think of that may help me. Also, if you could upload a picture of where it is leaking so I can see what has been done, it may help.

Take care,

Joe

You need to do a double flare it will leak with a signal flare. We are working on a video that will show how to do this but it is not ready yet.
