I got a 3/8 bolt and bolt put it through the line with two flat washers on each side and just pulled it down tight. The still leak but very very little. I had my calipers off two weeks while being chromed and I lost about a quarter of a small can of fluid.

Im not going to clear them for now. i dont wanna take away from the shine, i just plan on taking the rims off every oil change and polishing the calipers. I dont drive my car that much its not a DD. so ill see how they do. And on the fluid i jut slid the lines into a coke bottle as soon as i took them off and let the while system drain completely. only took alittle over 2 of the small bottles to fill it back up.
