13wl tundra brake banjo leak

The original ones on your truck will work with a slight modification.
The end has to be drilled a tiny bit.

 

Subbed.
So Jon....youre not using the hard lines correct?
Just drilling out the stock line a tad. I still havnt done this. Craps been sitting in the garage since I got the calipers.

 

Not yet. I have the hard lines and brackets but not the hoses yet.

 

So you can run it either way?

Drill out the banjo bolt on a stock soft line and run it directly into the caliper. Or run a hardline inbetween the soft line and caliper?

Is the hardline tundra?

 

Yes but the flexible lines are custom. No off the self stock line will work.

One way to do it. Or hit dealer or junk yard for the hard parts. Then have lines made up or buy them from LCE

 

Hey DC.
Did you double up on the washers? I’m having the same issue with my pass. caliper. I have the wheelers kit and it’s still leaking.

 

So, this can be a result of the caliper and not the banjo itself. Rather, it is a result of the caliper, but there can be different things that cause it.

Here are a few posts worth checking out to see what happened for me.

I should say that I first installed 13WLs with no problem using Wheelers banjos and they worked great for a year. That's this post:
New-to-me Tires and a Tundra Brake Upgrade

On a trip this year, when I was running the Lolo Motorway, I had a caliper seize up on me. I had to replace it on the trail. That's here:
IDBDR Pt. 7 - The Curse of the Lolo Motorway

After the trip, I thought a bit about my repair experience (above), and how I got into the situation in the first place. That is this Rig Review:
Rig Review: Idaho July 2019 - What worked and what didn't?

Finally, I decided to go a different route than the Wheelers banjo lines. I decided that doing the job "right" (or maybe, "completely"?) was the best approach. Here:

Shoot if you have questions. LCE is expensive, and I'm selling a cheaper kit (that uses the same parts). Doubling up crush washers can work, but it's not reliable in the long term.

 

@2004Taco I had the wheeler's kit also. Got Brakemotive calipers and I had to drill the banjo bolt in order for it to fit. so not sure why there is a discrepancy between calipers when refurbish but it seems to be the case if the bolt works on some but not others.

no biggie, just used a 5/16 and tried after a couple of drills to make sure there was only a little wiggle room for the line and 1 washer to "just" fit, considering the washers will crush a bit as well.

no leaks and bled without issues.

 

also, the one shim kit 04945-0c030 referenced in @turbodb post I could only use the anti-rattle (the piece with teflon on it), the outer shims would not even fit inside the caliper opening. I may buy the other set to see if they will fit
