Sounds like you are having more fun than a man should have…
Small tip, don’t over tighten any of your fittings, you can always tighten them more after the first snug up. Also make sure there are no lateral strains on the lines near the fittings.
You’ll get it right this time.
No matter which way they are turned 1/8 , 1/4, 1/2, still fluid still comes through .
Is it leaking from the threads or is it leaking through the fitting. If it's the latter confirm that you don't have two piece bleeder screws.Originally Posted by Marky1
Installed new fittings ,started flushing the lines . One fitting was leaking while doing the other side (the leaking fitting was in tight), would not stop leaking no matter how far I loosened or tightened.
One piece fittings
Fluid still came out when fittings were seated .
Wrong seat angle.

I feel for ya,
I had a leaky brake line in my tube trailer too, years of vibration between the brake line and the inside of the tube, finally wore thru.
It was a nightmare to figure out what was wrong, anybody with a tube trailer who has problems bleeding brakes should look for this issue.
The way I found mine was, I lowered the tongue as low as possible and seen brake fluid dripping out of the forward tongue channel.

Any updates Marky???
Just waiting for “Speed Bleeders “ to be delivered . Want to get things done , fishing should be good soon .
Latest update ,... expect delivery TODAY. I will believe it when I see them .
They came as promised ,… got one side done , will finish this up
tomorrow . ������
Bleeders are not working , maybe should try some bleeder plugs .
1 "Speed Bleeder " would not function as advertised, would not stop bleeding no matter how many times it was turned ,1/8 ,1/4, 1/2. The other one would not bleed.. Enough BS for one day !!
Maybe it's time for new calipers??
Thought of that. I have someone who is mechanically knowledgeable .Will be calling "Speed Bleeders" later today, hoping to get these things straightened out .
might be going in another direction now that everything not going as planned ,.... NEW CALIPERS !!
