HELP!! Brake leak

[Lil_Ram]

I have replaced my brakes and my driver caliper and hose. However I can't get either of my front hoses to stop leaking at the caliper connection. I made sure I had both washers on the bolt. I don't know what to do. Help

Pretty sure you only want 1 washer on the banjo bolt where the hose attaches to the caliper.

Never heard of only using one washer on a banjo for brakes.

Did you use new crush washers when you reassmbled? You sure the banjo bolts are tightened down properly? I'd buy new crush washers and try again.

It is only one between the banjo and the caliper. It will leak if you double it. I just changed my front calipers, I have zero leaks. The kits come with one only, you get two if you replace both the hoses and the calipers, because they sell as separate kits, and if you replace either, you need to replace the washer too.

Good to know! Thanks for verifying the single crush washer.
