As mentioned to other owners who took my brake service in the past, I always apply thin coat of silicone grease around each fittings and pipes to delay the future corrosion as much as possible.


This will include the bleeder screw at the calliper as well.


Because of this, from time to time, you may see wet stain like marking.


Please do not confuse this with fluid leaking.


Torque for each fittings and screws are double checked, system will be kept under pressure after the bleeding process using the pressure bleeder and then the car will be left on the lift overnight for further leak check.

In order to prevent twisting the brake hose during the installation, it is best to mark the alignment on the hose and chassis bracket before screwing in the fitting.


May be it’s over spec but I always request to use the stainless fittings for the custom made brake hose.
