[QUOTE="HuskerGT, post: 894891, member: 10056"] I finally decided on the color & got them painted a few weeks ago. I installed them over the weekend and everything went great except I have a small leak at the connection of the hard brake line & the soft caliper brake line. I thought that I didn't have it seated properly so I disconnected it, inspected the connection points, cleaned them off again and reconnected it yesterday afternoon. It leaks less but still does. I can see the fluid seeping out of the connection when I had the wife apply the brakes. Could it be that I need to have the hard line trimmed back a little & re-flared or do I need to replace the soft caliper line? I looked at the end of the caliper brake line and didn't see a small crush washer in there or anything. The passenger side is nice and dry. Any help would be much appreciated.
