brake pressure differential valve
I'm replacing the brake line for my rear brakes from the brake pressure differential valve to the junction on the rear axle. It all came off fine (with a lot WD-40 and elbow grease). The problem was in the connection to the brake pressure differential valve. When I removed the old fitting from the valve, the brake line was stuck inside it. I got Canadian tire to flare another fitting onto my new line.
When I tightened the fitting on, the new line still slid back and forth through the fitting, clearly not seated inside the differential. I didn't even bother putting any fluid into the system because I knew it would just spray out around that connection. Did I get the wrong fitting? Does it need a special flaring? Does it use some kind of sealant?
I suspect the answer is probably something blatantly obvious and someone's going to make me look like a fool, but thanks for the help anyways.
