I tried to install new brake lines today but apparently I need help. The old lines are S/S and are being replaced w/ rubber Meyle's. The old line has a small end on each end whereas the Meyle has one small and one large. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) It fit's tightly on the hard line off the caliper but loose as a goose on those 1/2 union fittings which are both a bit smaller.
old n new  different size ends   I have more pic's if needed. The size difference is appx .020. Attached image(s)

Just dab a dollop of black RTV on the hose, and let it sit over night. You'll be fine (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)
But yeah, remove the union from the car. the hose mounts to the car, and the hardline screws directly into the hard line. |
