My front calipers on my '05 MCS are starting to sling fluid seeping from the piston seals. Time to re-build. I've got stainless steel lines. Anyone got a good suggestion for stopping up the lines to keep fluid from draining out?

 

most common thing to try is a wooden golf tee

I saved an old brake line, cut off the appropriate end fitting, used some epoxy to seal the end and use that as a plug . . .

 

KD tools makes a selection of rubber plugs that you can block the brake line with.

They come on a beaded chain, to keep them together.

Most good auto parts stores have a KD tools display rack

Thanks for the K-D tip. Next question: Anyone changed out front dust boots? What's the trick?
