After taking my calipers off to paint them over the winter, during reassembly i noticed the the banjo bolts holding the brake lines to the calipers are different size.

2- bolts have a 7 on the head ( slightly larger openings)
2- bolts have a 8 on the head (smaller openings)

My thoughts are that the 7's go up front. Can anyone confirm?

 

bumppp!

 

Looking at the manual I can tell you the torque specs are different front is 22 ± 4 ft-lb rear is 12 ± 4 ft-lb. The size of the opening is the only difference?

 

everything else is the same. Size/ length/pitch...only one thing difference is the whole the fluid goes through and the seven and eight on the head of the bolt.

 

Probably one is aftermarket and the other is OEM. I would call Mitsubishi and just replace both with factory banjo bolts

 

yeah im not too sure.. 2 bolts say 8 .. and 2 bolts say 7... so im not sure if they are aftermarket

 

I'll take a look today I'm putting on the track pads for the weekend.

 

excellent buddy! thanks a million

 

7=front

 

excellent! thanks for your help!
