Re: Stripped banjo bolt…helicoil?

I've done more brake jobs than I want to count when I was doing it for a living and never saw one of those leak unless someone did something wrong.

Usually it is by not putting in one of the copper washers, putting them both on one side or by reusing one that had been damaged. It normally doesn't take more than a good tug on a box end wrench to have them tight enough.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
