Howdy --
I am going to replace the rear calipers and hoses on my 91 300D this
weekend hopefully. Question - the connections where the hose meets
the caliper and where the hose meets the chassis pipe - they are
compression fittings IIRC (or they may have a different name - the 2
cones mate and form a seal I believe) -- should I put anything on
the threads? Anti-seize for instance? I know nylin is not
acceptable....
Thanks -
Larry
they are double flare fittings.
BTB: no nothing on threads.
School of hard knocks: you can put some never seize on the external
threads as long as you are "vewy vewy caweful" (quoting Elmer Fudd)
not to get any antiseize onto the parts that will touch brake fluid.
BTDT.
