I just replaced a pair of these today. With everything in good shape you should get brake fluid dripping out of any part of the brake system that you open. If the outer end of the hose does not drip, loosen the inboard junction where it connects to the steel line. I suspect that you will see that point start to leak. If so, buy a new pair of rubber flex lines. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- Too much?
