For years I have been fighting with the caliper inlet seal, the copper washer.... it would leak because the hexagon of stainless braided hose would always dig into the copper and damage the washer. I never looked at the stock hose because those went to AutoZone with the cores, I never even disconnected them from the calipers...Here's what I did not know:
The stock style hoses have a 5/8" hexagon, larger than the stainless hose 9/16" hex.... maybe there are stainless braided hoses with the larger hex - dunno....
The ugly (and no, I did not over-tighten it, don't take much to destroy the rwasher) :
Here's what it should look like:
Should be leak-free now. :bounce:
