Man, I'm about to go crazy.
Just came in to clear my head, because I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
I decided to upgrade the front brakes on my '93 Impreza wagon with 4 pot Subaru calipers, dba WRX rotors, Axxis pads, and Goodrich SS lines.
Everything went on just fine with the exception of the SS lines...they leak.
Actually, the RF line leaks at the hard line threaded connection.
Disassembly & inspection revealed no obvious defects with either the hard line or the new SS line.
I swapped the new SS lines from side to side, but the leak was still at the RF connection.
Must the be the hard line, I thought, and to confirm this I removed the new SS line & re-installed the old rubber line.
No leak.
I guess I'll have to schlep on over to the dealer for a new hard line.
Thanks for listening
