Brake pipes leaking

[mark989]

I have removed my rear brake calipers for overhaul and refitted them but cannot get them to stop leaking when pressuring them up from the hose. Can anyone shed some light on what i am doing wrong! I have tried tightening them as tight i can. Do the flare fittings seal again once split?
Thanks, Mark

Sounds like you've over tightened it and you've damaged the flare.

Or cross threaded it.

Yes or that.
