Plugging brake lines?

Silvergto2 · Jan 14, 2008

I have the Maximum Motorsport Stainless Steel brake lines currently installed but I was wondering when I pull my calipers in a couple of months to get powdercoated, what's the best (safest for the brake system) way to plug the brake lines so fluid doesn't run everywhere while I wait for my calipers to get back? Do I run the risk of messing anything up if I have my brake lines disconnected for a couple of days? Thanks.

at the auto parts store, in the "HELP" section, you'll find rubber plugs, sets of, I think, 8 different sized plugs on a nylon 'tree' holder) - pickup two sets of these and fit the smallest one you can fit onto the line. Be sure to ck for leaks in a couple hours and keep your brake fluid topped off while waiting for the powdercoating to be done.

someone i knew found the perfect size bolt and screwed it in. didnt leak at all, and line fit right back onto the fitting no problems.

Yup. And if you have to ask the counter guy, ask him where the vacuum line caps / plugs are.
