I got new calipers and can't remember from the old ones...
What order does the copper washer on the brake line screw go in:

copper washer / brakeline / bolt?
brakeline / copper washer / bolt?

I think its the first but not positive....
 
copper washer/ brakeline/ bolt
i just did mine like 3 or 4 months ago.
 
There is a copper washer on both sides of the brakeline.

copper washer, brakeline, copper washer, then bolt.

If you don't have both washers you will have a leak.
 
yep two washers, one on either side or you'll be squirtin fluid...

i just did this last saturday night both sides...
2 washers...
 
Funny you mention two brass washers. I just looked in the caliper accessory bag and there were two. The caliper I just removed only had one!!!

Now anyone have any idea where these two little rubber o-rings go? Not the ones that the glide pin guides fit into....two much smaller ones. Wish these calipers had a small instruction guide with them...
 
you should have 4 rubber "washers" they go inside the caliper bolt holes... the big in the big, little in the little... get it?

look where the bolt goes... you'll see it...

And dont for get the metal toob piece... like a 1/2 inch or 1 inch piece... you "may" need it...
