New actuator and reverse selenoid installed. Now I have a big leak between the line and the nut which tightens the line into the back of the selenoid. See arrow below showing where leak is.
What now? I assume you have to or can replace this part on the end of the brake line? It tightens into the selenoid but not back toward the line as that all seems to be one part.
If I cause the seleniod to activate, will it bloack the fluid in enough to not leak out? If so, once changed, then bleed the system at the brakes?
Thanks for any assistance.
It looks like the leak is at the line. before replacing your reverse solenoid - I’d take your break line back and tell them it leaks and does not seal properly and ask for an exchange. if from Tie Down, call their GA help line.
Q: you didn’t use any type of plumbers sealing tape did you? if so take that stuff off and clean threads. It is difficult to see in the pic.
Thanks for the reply MM. I am replacing the brake line today because the leak is in that fitting on the end.
No tape. Should I use anything on the threads on the each end of the line?
i have seen that before, and I think you may have the wrong fitting. I believe its a flare type seal, and it looks like you may have a pipe thread style fitting
