I’m in the final stages of my hydroboost install. This is a dumb question probably, but doing full hard braking tests at idle to test for leaks.
Every time I panic stop test I get the smallest amount of residual brake fluid coming out. I’ll tighten/loosen/tighten/loosen and get it down a bit more. It will stop leaking, then do another panic test and it will leak somewhere else…
I’m only using a handheld 3/8 flare nut wrench and a brake bleeder wrench… the caliper threads tend to seep a little fluid each time I panic test, and different fittings up at master cylinder.
Wilwood told me no thread sealant, no Teflon tape, no thing, just metal to metal contact… I already cross threaded/stripped my prop valve earlier this week and had to redo.
Are there specific torque values for all these somehow? Or another way to know if too tight or too loose? Video examples are welcome as well.
Thanks in advance!
