Weeping brakes

<< < (2/5) > >>

robvangulik:
The bleednipple shouldn't seal on the threads but on the point in the bottom of the hole.

Bryanj:
Sounds like flares and seats are not quite right to me

TrickyMicky:
A few months ago I replaced the complete front brake system, top to bottom. Just to be doubly sure, I checked with my vehicle engineer/MOT tester neighbour, and he informed me that all brake components should be assembled dry and without any sealants whatsoever. If there is a leak, it's either mating faces not clean, not tight enough, or incorrectly seating.  Bone dry joints without any sealants are the only acceptable condition.

Moorey:
No tape should be used on brake systems plumbers ptfe tape isnt isnt oil/petro/gas l resistant. There are  different types of Teflon tape for different types of applications.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I would use the Yellow PTFE tape as per gas fittings not expensive from a builders merchants etc.
