Made some good progress over the weekend.
Transmission pulled and broken shear pin fixed.
Front and back brakes replaced. New flex lines, too. Long door TR2 -
lockheed brakes.
The issue:
The connection of the end of the flex hose that attaches to the body does
not mate with the existing piping.
I measured the outer diameter of the fitting on the hard brake line and it's
approximately 11/32. I was tightening the hose fitting to the rear brake
and had pulled the bleeder.
Measured it - and it's 11/32 and screws right into the Flex pipe.
held them against each other and the threads match.
Comparing them I noticed the fitting appears to have flared around the flare
fitting to an extent.
Better to take pliers and try to squezze it back in or take a file to it?
Thanks
Chris
