Holy crap that sucks balls!!! Best of luck man.

 

Yeah lol, I had no idea brake fluid was that powerful.

I can either powdercoat all 4 rims, which sucks because I just paid to have my Pilot Sports mounted on them.

My other choice is to refinish the single rim in either paint or powdercoat. Paint will be more $$$ so if the powdercoat will match the other finishes, that's the route I might go with.

Thankfully, winter is coming so these rims will go into storage until I can figure out what I want to do with them.

 

Thankfully, winter is coming...

But seriously, did the face get damaged at all? If not, I'd just clean it up and re-paint. Nobody can see the barrel of the wheel anyway, unless you are competing seriously at car shows.

and the banjo bolt for the line to the caliper isn't supposed to be "super tight" it needs to be torqued to spec. I re-checked all the bolts with my torque wrench 3 times before putting the car back on the ground. Brakes are no place to get laxed with your inspections.

 

Brake fluid is very corrosive. Did you reuse the copper washers? No bueno

 

Nope, we used the copper washers that came with my stoptech SS line kit!

I would say it's partly due to inexperience with install and not tightening things enough. Lesson learned!

 

I am unable to find the torque specks, please advise. Than you.

 

If there is someone that you just really don't like.... Brake fluid is your best friend!!
