Brake line washers: safe to reuse?
 

...

I'd replace them. It's just a washer, cheap and easy.

You can probably reuse them but for the cost of a washer, just replace it.

considering the importance of the brakes, I tend to play it safe and replace them...

You CAN, but its not wise to do so. go down to autozone and buy a package of crush washers to replace them. I dislike reusing those unless I ABSOLUTELY MUST on any brake system.

um, I've never used anything but used ones unless new ones came with a line kit. And then the old ones get saved if they looked ok. But hey, that's just me.

Man do you guys replace the crush washer on you drain bolt all the time also?

I have reused them but I try not to.

every other oil change.

Copper brake line 'banjo bolt' washers(*) - NO

Metal drain/fill plug washers(*) - NO

(*) The only permissible exception to this is when you're on the road, have an "issue" (e.g. accident) and need to effect emergency repairs to get to a repair facility or home.

Any questions? :rofl:
