Icon2 1997 EK hatch dx brake line tuck problem.

The car is a 97 ek hatch dx.

I did a brake line tuck behind the firewall, and underneath the car there are two fittings that are coming from the back of the oem brake lines then two bulkhead fittings from car quest, and one pass through fitting for the bulkheads from carquest as well. Then after that passthrough fittings are also brake lines from carquest, but on the other sides the brake lines dont seem to leak just the fittings and pass through fittings, bulkheads.

and now it starts to leak on me. Is it because of the material from carquest or me just using a wrench thats not even suppose to be used. I'm using a 10mm which slips out most of the time, i need to use the brake line wrench for the brake line plumbing right, and way

better fittings right ?

I need i need to use also the special wrench and better fittings from somewhere else, brake lines look fine to me. Just leaking by where the OEM brake lines were at in the back.

There's an ongoing thread in the Group forum that you should post this to. 1,100+ pages of nothing BUT this kind of info. Surprised you haven't seen it.
