R56 Wilwood caliper weeping at line
Wilwood caliper weeping at line
I installed a set of wilwood 11.75s on my mcs about 2 months ago. Love the brakes and the extra stopping power. But a few weeks ago i was goin my oil change and was under the car when i notices on both calipers there was weepage from both fittings that go into the caliper. The line doesnt leak at all. So i took the line and fitting out. Re wrapped it with teflon tape and re bled my brakes. I noticed my pedal was l lil stiffer. Last week on my way home i was in traffic and thought my pedal didnt feel the same as i remembered. So i looked and still weeping so i remover and checked threads and tried again but they will not seal. They dont leak very much at all like i said a lil weeping but does anyone have any ideas? I contacted wilwood n they just told me to retape them and they should never leak but that isnt happening.
If its an NPT fitting, you'll need to give it a bit more torque to seal. The Teflon tape doesn't actually seal the fitting, just gives the fitting a bit of smoothness so the threads can get tight enough to seal.
