Brake fluid leaks
70 GMC C2500 drums on all 4
All new parts/pre bent lines/etc with the exception of the distribution block, any in line tees. These were inspected, cleaned, blown thru w/compressed air.
Bench bled master w/o issue.
Started to gravity bleed hard lines.
I have a small drip, 1 every 10 or so minutes at the master front connection. Yes, I have flare wrenches. I have tightened as much as I dare w/o stripping it. Still leaks.
The 1st inline tee leaks as well. Tightened here as well. Better but still a leak. Ran outta patience, called it a day(grin).
Questions...
1 - Isn't the front master reservoir for the front brakes?
2 - I searched this site. Does loosening and retighten work?
3 - I am 99.9% sure I have no crossed threads. If I did, wouldn't it leak more than what Im seeing?
4 - I would tend to think, no teflon tape/pipe dope should be used due to the flared fittings.
This aint my 1st total brake job. Don't recall these issues in the past.
Thanks for your time...Don.
