I don't have any experience working on brake lines. I found where it leaks and was hoping to be able to just tighten it up and be good to go. Otherwise I'll take it to the shop to be done because I have no experience bleeding lines. The question is what kind of fitting is this? There doesn't appear to be anything except a rubber grommet. What type of fitting is this and how do you tighten it.

It's a rubber grommet with a separate steel washer under it. That's all. The line "pops" in. It can be difficult. I would get 2 new ones from your local Porsche dealer or order from pmbperformance.

Some have omitted these and regretted it. |

QUOTE(Marty Yeoman @ Mar 17 2017, 05:06 PM) Okay. But how do you remove the lines if they just "snap" in? The discussion link only talks about instal not removal. Do you just give them a good yank or is there a release tool? |

No special tools are necessary. Hand manipulation works just fine. Good luck with your repair.

But you do need them. Otherwise the fit is too loose and the line will leak. |
