    brake hose
    « on: May 08, 2015 - 11:11:52 AM »
    I just want to confirm that there is supposed to be a copper washer between the brake hose and the caliper.  My hoses are the style that screw right into the caliper...there is NO banjo bolt.  My ps hose is leaking.  I tightened up the hose but it just doesn't want to seal.  I found this while researching.  Is this the correct washer for my style of brake hose or does it take something else?

    If you have a hose with a threaded end and a seat in the caliper then there is no washer. If there is no seat(like in the rear wheel cylinders) just a hole,  then you need a copper washer.

    it is a flare seal as I recall where the hose meets the caliper machining
