Brake Banjo Bolts and Washers
So I took the rear calipers off just like I did the front ones to clean them up and paint them, and the rotors.
First thing, when I unbolted the lines i tied them up just like I did in the front. But this time both lines kept dripping brake fluid over night and drained the reservoir and made a big mess. Then when I went to reconnect them with new banjo washers I could not get one side to seal completely. And the lines seem to be twisted (in a loop) like they should go on backwards from the way I am putting them on that makes sense. The line has a tab on one side and it seems to me that should be facing the caliper to keep it in place. I had a helper taking these off while I worked on the fuel rail issue. So I didn't see how they came off.
Does anyone have a picture of the way their brake lines on?
Do I need to use 2 each (crush washers) on the top and bottom of the line since they are thinner then the stock washers. (I have checked every auto parts place near me)
Last thing, would any damage be done from it draining dry of fluid? I have bled the lines 4 times around each and get no air when I do. But the peddle goes way too far down now and I need to pump it 3 times to get it to fell normal. Or is it that I have not gotten to the air pockets yet?
