Troubleshooting

Brake fluid leak after installation

Ensure the brake line is properly flared and seated. Use the correct flare nut wrench to tighten the fitting securely, but do not over-tighten, which can damage the flare. Verify compatibility of thread sizes and types.

Nut won't thread onto brake line

Double-check that you are using the correct nut for the 3/16-inch brake line. Verify that the thread pitch and diameter match the brake line's end. Ensure there is no damage or debris on the threads of the line or the nut.

Stripped threads on nut or brake line

Use a flare nut wrench specifically designed for brake fittings to avoid rounding the nut. If threads are stripped, the nut and potentially the affected section of the brake line will need replacement.

  • Comes in a convenient, organized storage box.
  • Designed for precise fluid control, enhancing brake system reliability.

Cons

  • May require careful verification of specific thread compatibility (e.g., UNF, TPI, mm) for non-standard applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure you have the correct flare nut wrench for the specific size and thread type (e.g., 3/8" UNF x 24 TPI, 10 x 1.00 mm) to avoid stripping the threads. Clean the ends of the brake line and the receiving port before installation. Thread the appropriate brake nut onto the brake line firmly by hand first, then tighten with a flare nut wrench. Ensure a tight seal without over-tightening.

Compatibility: These nuts are designed for 3/16-inch brake pipes. While the kit includes various thread sizes (e.g., 3/8" UNF x 24 TPI, 10 x 1.00 mm), always confirm that the thread specification matches your vehicle's brake components (master cylinder, wheel cylinders, proportioning valves, etc.) before purchase or installation.

Care: Store the brake nuts in their original partitioned box to prevent contamination and ensure organization. Keep the box in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Clean any nuts with a dry cloth before use if they have been exposed to moisture.
