Default Proper torque for brake compression washers
Getting ready to install stainless wrapped brake lines - was wondering how tight the compression washers should be torqued?

For Goodridge lines, the correct torque is 18 lb-ft.

Thanks! That's what I thought. Guess i must have been cranked a little too hard yesterday on one before I applied the torque wrench. It leaked and adding a little more force didn't stop it. New washers this afternoon and careful torquing stopped the leak.
