I'm battling a right rear caliper leak. I've littereally went through my stock caliper and 2 new remand calipers. The bolt for some reason keeps striping the break line hole out. I torque them to 22 ft lbs like the chilton's states and 2 kept turning and the other actually torqued all though it still leaked. So now I'm thinking that it's the actually break line that may have a gouch in it or something because I really thought I was good on my last one and it started to have a slow leak. Every time the copper seals where replaced with the kit that came with them. If it's not one thing it's the next it seems like! Any one every had an issue like this before. I've torqued all my calipers break lines all the way around the car the same at 22 ftlbs and only the right rear is doing this. No other leaks on any of the others! ******* weird right

 

replace the bolt the goes through the line into the caliper and its always a good idea to chase the threads in the caliper.

 

Yeah I have a new caliper and break line coming thursday. I have to order the bancho bolt from the dealership which wont be here to 7-10 days. I figure I would just replace it all and be done with it. Are you really going to be able to chase the threads though with out taking the internals out?

 

yes you can just blow it out very well. and put a small amount of grease in the tap vallies

 

Right on!
