Changed everything brake wise front and rear. New calipers leak at seal point of banjo bolts. Calipers came with two crush washers, copper type. Do they require both of them? Plus they came with this bent up wire thing. No clue where it goes. They did not have them when I started. I am disabled and cannot afford a mechanic or someone else would be throwing things instead of me.

Yes they require one washer on each side that is why it is leaking more than likely there are three different types of calipers. Send a picture back of the ones on truck.

Copper washer on each side of the banjo fitting. The bent up wire it the anti-rattle spring. Goes on the inner pad with the loop side away from the rotor.
