Not sure if I should leave them 'dry' or maybe put some brake grease on the threads? Thinking about all of them: soft lines to the calipers, and soft lines to the hard lines.
Haynes doesn't mention anything about it. BTW, getting the rear brake hoses off were a giant PITA. But not impossible because I was able to cut the old lines off and get a socket on there. That being said, I am still trying to figure out how I'll get the new new lines tightened enough. Any ideas? I'm about to hit the 914 search button hard, somebody must have posted a tip or two on this already. |
