After 2 nights me and my back have had enough. I have a brake line leak in the front that I can't fix and need some suggestions.
I used NAPA pre-flaired lines everywhere and they are all fine except the one "T" fitting (from NAPA) that splits the 2 front lines after the master cyl.. Attached is a picture (sorry for the quality but I guess my camera is tired too...). I replaced all the flaired lines and compression couplers going to it (2 shown in the picture). When I found the leak I started tightening then applied the brake to check again. I kept tightening and checking until now I can't tighten the fittings anymore without snapping them. I made sure that there was no junk on the threads before assembling. It appears to be leaking between the "T" and the couplers as shown in the picture.
Can I used a thread sealant like Teflon tape on these? I didn't use it anywhere else and have no leaks except here. Is there a different fitting I should use?
Thanks
Chris
