Greetings, Guys;
I replaced EVERYTHING when I replaced the brake system, even the wheel bearings while I was there. The new brakse lines, "factory replacement" from a Galaxie specialist, leak at almost every fitting; at the wheel cylinders, the rubber flex lines, "T" fittings at the rear differential and front frame rail.....
frustrating.
Is there a tread sealant I should try?

Thanks

Ben

absolutely DO NOT use any sealer on brake lines or fittings. If it leaks get a line wrench and make sure they are tight, not an open end wrench. Also check the flare as they may be ieitehr wrong or just a single flare. They shold be double flared... If they aren't that's why it leaks.
