I'm trying to change out my friends brakes which isn't the issue here. I didn't have a piston compression tool in the beginning so I disconnected the brake line so I could push it back myself(probably one of the more stupid ideas, but im not really a professional mech. either). Well come to tightening down that bolt again and the brake fluid is just rushing out, I can't seem to line the holes up. Does anyone know the problem or like is there a specific torque setting to line those holes up?

I can only guess that you must be trying to describe a front brake issue... correct ?

Your probably talking about fluid leaking out of the connection from the rubber flex hose and the caliper ??
You probably lost the copper compression washer that fits on the connection at the end of the hose that the bolt goes through.

Not sure what you mean " specific torque settings" to line up holes... what holes ??

yeah its front brake issues andthe bolt that connects the brake line to the caliper is hollowed out so that the brake fluid can flow to the piston. I cant seem to line the holes up so it just keeps leaking out unnaturally whenever the brake pedal is pressed.

and what i meant by specific torques is that maybe theres a certain lb. the bolt has to be turned so that the holes line up. and no i didnt lose the washers that are there, in fact i bought two new along with the new bolts i bought.
