Thread: Helicoil the rear brake caliper hose hole?

You might try stacking copper washers, in case you're bottoming out threads. Or perhaps just use one thinner washer so it would deform more easily. I've run into lines on all-aftermarket stuff that went both those ways.

There are still a good amount of threads in the caliper so I know I wasn't bottoming out. The washers they included were bigger dia, but same thickness as the one that came off. The calipers aren't aftermarket per se, they are just powder coated re-mans.
