Ok, so i'm almost done installing my IRO 4.5" LA lift kit, on my XJ. Well, actually the lift is done. The only thing left to do is the hack-n-tap SYE. But anyways...since installing the stainless steel brake lines, i decided to just do a full on brake job. Changed rotors, pads, and am in the process of flushing the whole system (the fluid that's in there is really dirty). The issue i'm having is the front brake lines. I bolted the SS brake line block thingy (no idea what it's called) to the caliper, yet it still leaks fluid. I tried tightening it even more and it still leaks. It's perfectly set on the caliper too. I just can't figure out what's wrong with it. Any ideas on why it might be leaking? Any and all help is apprecaited, as always!

Did you put the little brass washer between the block and caliper?If not ,thats the problem.It's not sealing.

Wow...that was dumb. I saw the brass washers, but had no idea what they were for. The rear is fine, it doesn't have one either. Does it need one? There are four of them, do they go on both sides of the block? As in one inbetween the bolt, and block, and the other two between the block and the caliper?

Nevermind, i figured it out. Rear doesn't need one, and one goes inbetween the bolt and the block, and the other between the block and the caliper. It isn't leaking anymore. Thanks a lot for the quick response, i really appreciate the help!
