stainless line installation

[tejasmud]

When using goodridge with separate line-fittings, do you have to treat the threads before putting them together with anything like teflon or anti-seize?

With Goodridge or Russell -3 AN type fittings I have never used teflon or anti-seize. No problems here.

I have read some might use a small bit of teflon tape on the bleeder threads when bleeding the brakes.

With -3 AN fittings I found it best to twist the line counter clockwise 1/8 to 1/4 turn when tightening the fitting. It helps keep the line from twisting and looking kinked.



Rebuilding the calipers and masters, or just buy new masters, is a wise decision.

I just finished rebuilding some calipers. I chose to purchase a few sets off the bay, which were pretty cheap on some used ones, given the calipers I pulled off had a good deal of pitting in the seal grooves.

All of them looked like the pic twr1776 posted, or worse.
