kewljay223 Gearhead Posts: 274 From: Long Beach, California Registered: Sep 2002	posted 12-01-2003 07:51 PM this is kind of a dumb question but im not sure what the torque is for the bolt that holds the front brake hose to the caliper. this is for my 69. also, how is it installed with the washers? is there supposed to be a washer on either side of the brake hose or are both washers next to the head of the bolt? the brakes were apart when i got the car so i dont know how it was originally. thanks.

When you install the hoses there must be a washer on each side of the hose, this act as seals also. I never reuse these washers it is cheap insurance to go and pick up 4 new washers from your local parts house to prevent leaks. ------------------ Ronnie 69 mach1 351W-4V engineless at the time! 70 Torino GT 351C-4v with a "shaker" Mustangs and More Member #23 IP: Logged
