TOXXIC Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Not sure if the fall off the trailer triggered this, but I'm leaking brake fluid onto the swingarm. Looks like the banjo bolts leading from the rear brake line/pedal are spitting fluids. I tried to tighten the bolt, but didn't solve the problem. I can only guess buying new washers should fix the problem. Anyone else experienced this unpleasantry? The main junction point Sean blew apart in July, is fine, I'm speaking of the set-up south of the main distribution center. Please forgive my lack of concise use of Honda terms. Oh, and is there a more complete rebuild kit besides just the two washers I plan on replacing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in PA Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I'll try this again. :roll: Carlos must have started working on the site while I was typing at 0730 this morning. Couldn't post. I'd replace the sealing washers they're cheap. I've had my banjo bolts loosened at the handlebars, moved the lines and retightened with the same washers, without a leak. Keep the fluid cleaned up with lots of water. Will etch the swingarm and eat paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northman Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Yeah, what Pete said. Replace the sealing washers, and flush out the brake fluid. Should solve your problem, and the spill off the trailer was probably the culprit, like you thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
