Customs What End Goes into the

The Brake Line has a short on one end and a long screw on the other what end goes into the Brake Cylinder, or does it not matter

 

The brake cylinder doesn't care. HRP

 

Thanks HRP, I just didn't know

 

To be perfectly honest,I really don't know why the make them like that. HRP

 

i think they are made one long and one short nut for this reason: i have found with some wheel cylinders the short one has the threads bottom out before the inverted flare is tight

 

It looks better with the short end in the master though.

 

What he said.

 

i have always used the long one on the wheel cylinders. [just the way i was told]

 

Has something to do with Chrysler products needing the large end. Bob

 

I have run into situations where I could not get a wrench on the short one to tighten it when it recesses into the cylinder too deeply.

 

Yeah, me too. So I cut the line right there, and used a socket.

 

Good thing I wasn't drinking somethin'...
