installed new caliper, now leaking along brass washer on banjo nut between lines and caliper, does the hole have to be properly align?

@jumpa01 Thanks for your reply. If my brakes ever seize again, I will definitely look into the two rubber hoses you were talking about. Due to wrong diagnosis, I also used to mistakenly change parts which were not giving me any problems at all. I look at it philosophically : I can still keep the good parts that were mistakenly replaced and use it one day. So your two calipers + 4 shoes + brake cleaner are really not wasted.

@opsvideo2008 As soon as I changed those two rubber hoses that connect to the brake lines in the front fender wells the brakes were once again fine

@jellykelly696 You nailed it Jelly it was the rubba hoses they have a built in check valve and the fluid wouldn't return from the cylinder for like 20 minutes each push. As soon as I changed those two rubber hoses that connect to the brake lines in the front fender well the brakes were once again awesome .I just wish I did those first instead of spending a hundred bucks on two calipers 4 shoes + brake cleaner and a gallon of Dot-3 that's what I get for not listening to my Bro ...

@jumpa01 Your comments may be already two years old but for other youtubers who have the same problem of sticking/seizing brakes like yours, I like to share the solution I found. I replaced my brake master cylinder because it's piston was not functioning properly and also the brake pedal was drooping onto the floor. Then I removed my car wheels and sprayed STP brake cleaner generously on all the brake caliper components without disassembling them. My brakes no longer stick/seized.

The guy should have worn rubber or nitrile gloves to protect his hands from the brake fluid. Other than that, this a good video. Thanks for sharing it.

@unlockthepower No there wont be much coming out since there is no pressure being applied anjd your car is off so you have no break booster. Fluid will leak a bit if your steel hose is coming from the top and points downwards when disconnecting. This will leak because of gravity. Once that is out, no more leaking.

Thanks. Do you need to isolate the brake fluid first before disconecting the pipe?
