Brake Line Leak

mastat89 · 05-03-2024, 04:26 PM

Recently replaced my Master cylinder and vacuum pump and brake were working fine, then I noticed a leak on the line for my abs. Is there an easy way to fix this other than replacing the line and re-flaring?

A lot of times, I've found that if you loosen the nut, and then push the line back in until it bottoms out, and then tighten the nut again, that fixes that.

When I get issues on those types of fittings, it's when I start the nut, and just try to tighten it down without making sure the the line is seated into the mating fitting first. it ends up a bit crooked and leaks.
