Amidst all the crap on YouTube, I find the occasional useful nugget.
Use a couple careful whacks with a hammer to help make brake line joints leak tight on used or refurbished calipers.
This video describes it. My inner geek explains it. The tightened banjo bolt is under tension just under the head. The hammer blow overcomes the tension and bonks the dead-soft copper into any pits or scratches. Note how he got a little more turn out of the bolt when the washer flattens a little each time.
Seems like good advice to me.
