hissing brakes
ok so i did the 5 lug conversion and all was well. except my brakes were leeking at the front hard lines. so i changed the hard lines for the master cyl down to the conection inside the wheel well. i also changed the soft lines because i didnt want to use the dry rotted old ones. well the brake pedal is tight to an extent, the drivers side front brake is hissing. the other 3 are just fine. what could be going on here? could it be that the hard line off the caliper's fitting could be bad and a little fluid leeking out? or is it something else possibly.

knowledge junkie
did you bleed the whole brake system propperly, starting with the "furthest away" and working towards the "closest" caliper? All air bubbles were removed, and you remembered to bleed the top & bottom nipples in the rear?
Do you see any brake fuild leaking out of the calipers or hard lines? If you hold the pedal down does it eventually sink to the floor?
The only "hissing" or noise I get is from the ABS system when backing out of the driveway. My non-ABS convertible doesn't do that.

ya i bled them all properly. what makes me think it could be the hard line there is the fact that i have a little brake fluid in my wheel well and my rim. non abs btw
