Default Brake line hole issues ?

1. Anyone ever had issues with the hole the brake line and bolt goes into? Anyone had to rethread?

2. Are the calipers for the touring version the same material as the small ones?

reason I’m asking is there was some issue with the used ones I bought or at least that was what I was told, the banjo bolts magically came loose. They say the new bolts I provided were no good (likely bs) the hole has to be enlarged and a thread fitting installed. So far it’s been a day, no issues…

Did they tell you this after the calipers were mounted? I'd be a little concerned about a repair in that area.

That bolt is easy to strip, I guess, the thread was destroyed at some point...

After a local Lexus dealer screwed up my brakes, nobody is allowed to service my brakes on my car but me.
