i cant find a mention of it anywhere.
thanks

I have always gone 1/8 of a turn past finger-tight, just enough to crush the copper washer....

I keep seeing reference to this "banjo bolt" But have never heard that term before.

What is it? I'm sure I'll know it under a dirrent name. graemlins/clonk.gif

I'm sure I'll know it under a dirrent name. graemlins/clonk.gif what name do you know for the bolt that holds the brake hose to the caliper? i dont know where that term came from but i have heard or seen it in several places. the chiltons repair books dont refer to it or the amount of torque to apply.

I found 22-lbs ft. of torque listed in my Haynes manual for the Banjo bolt. Seems to have worked as I don't have any leaks smile.gif

The bolt that holds the brake hose to the caliper.
Thats what I call it. But what do I know im just a dumb Lineman

Really, No joke I never heard that term before.

Now I feel like the scare crow recieving his diploma. Learn something new everyday.

Thanks guys
