    SS Brake Lines & Hoses--- Leaks ----Sealing/Seating TIPS?

    Hey guys

    Out of all the years working on various cars I have never encountered this problem before.

    Upgraded to DPI SS hard brake lines and SS hoses and for some reason I have the front caliper lines and even rear caliper lines to brake hoses slightly leak.

    I've taken them apart 4-5x and made sure that they are aligned with hole on brake hoses while tightening up and still find a slight drip.

    Is there a trick towards getting these damn lines to seal/seat properly?

    I can't properly bleed brakes as a result and have minor bubbles a result.

    Thanks

    No tips. I would contact the vendor.
