I gave the changing o-ring job to my local A&P, he changed the ring, but said everything was clean and seemed to be fine. He thought the looped alum brake line was cousing the claiper to cock on pins slightly, recomended putting short flex instead. That would require opening the gear leg fairing to put a fiting on the line. Anybody done this?? Charlie H

Charlie ..... IMHO the loop should give enough freedom for the brake
cylinder pins to slide in their holes. I've seen direct connections
... without the loop work really well ..... My Pitts and Traumahawk has
a direct connection without any issues. The only concern I have with
going to flex is the bulk of the hose ..... which may give you other
issues. I think if the cylinder was cocking that you'd see some odd
wear on the pads.
