Help! Leaking brake calipers

Installed new remanufactured calipers today on my truck. Put the new washers on but fluid keeps leaking around where the banjo bolt goes in. Both sides and im really about to blow a gasket. Im tired of jacking with this thing but i need my truck. Any ideas?

 

Might sound stupid but have you tried just tightening them ? Mine were leaking last weak and guess they just got worked loose

 

There brand new calipers, they have been tight, not so tight, torqued to spec. Another set of washers put on. Hell idk!

 

Did u put coper gasket

 

Copper gasket, meaning the washers on each side of the banjo, yes one washer on each side. Think i may swing byvthe stealership and grab some oem washers tomorrow. The ones that came with the calipers look really hard and cheap.

 

Is it a compression fitting?

 

I was just watching an EricTheCarGuy video on Acura brake caliper replacement. Apparently the copper washers tend to leak, i.e. even re-using the OEM washers would be better.

 

Its a copper crush washer, one on each side of a flat fitting with a hole in the middle. Im gonna try getting some oem washers if i can and if not ill try to ise the originals.

 

Gonna take the copper washers and try scuffing them up on a piece of 3M scotch bright pad to remove the shiny surface and maybe that will help them seal. Still gonna go by the dealership and see if i can get oem's but first its off to my step sons football game.

 

Try with aluminum washer , clean good fitting and banjo bolt

 

Were the old copper washers still on? Having an extra washer will cause a leak.

Single washer on either side of the brake line fitting, then tighten it pretty darn tight.

 

Dealership didnt have any washers, found a kit with different sizes and found right size ones. I believe i got the banjo's to stop leaking and i have bled and bled and still the pedal is soft. If i pump them they get firm but as soon as you drive a min they are soft again. Im at a loss.

 

Did the reservoir go dry? Bleed all 4. Furthest away from the master first

Bleed until you get two bleeds in a row with no air. Even bleeding extra wont hurt anything.

 

Just bled everything one last time. Thought it was good but think i screwed the pooch on the FD. I can hear a swooshing noise when i push the brake pedal after i start the truck. If i pump it real fast it gets firm then once i let off it goes down to floor.

 

bad reman'd calipers maybe?

 

Oh god i hope not, if so im buying new OEM calipers that are attached to a new taco. Should i be hearing the swish noise when the pedal goes to the floor. Or is it something with the master cylinder maybe?

 

Master cylinder or brake booster...

 

Well i thought i may update, i bled everything again including the proportioning valve and that helped some but i think there is still a large amount of air somewhere so i guess off to a pro it goes. I feel defeated
