Safe to use PB Blaster on hard brake line fittings...?

[fixizin]

... or will it "contaminate the system"?

Also, what is the wrench size and thread-size of those flare fittings?

Thanks in advance!

yup.....you CAN squirt that squirrel wee on just about anything

try not to consume it though....pretty sure it will cause cancer in california if you do that.

"can't"? Or "can"?
@bobbywalter
Personally I would use it. The amount that might get into the line is next to zero.

good catch

But once the original can loses its propellant, there seems to be no hand-pumped oil-can on Earth which can properly contain it!... "penetrates" so well that it leaks out of every piston rod hole, nozzle attach joint, and riveted hinge, not to mention the threads of the main screw-on assembly!

You can use it on the fittings but don't get it in the fluid, anything petroleum based will cause the rubber hoses and seals to swell up. Also, Cyclo Breakaway is much better than PB Blaster.

Never had much luck with PB Blaster. It seems to be too thick to penetrate some areas. Kroil has changed and doesn't work as well as it used to, in my opinion (others have said the same thing). CRC Freeze-Off works well in my experience.

Don't get it on your head either. I had it drip on me one time and I woke up later that night to a pillow with PB blaster smeared on it...had to throw that one away.

I use it because I got several free cans but that's the only reason. IMO it's a shit penetrating oil, I actually like Liquid Wrench for off the shelf stuff and it smells way better. Torq CB is my favorite but it's $25/can

Anyone try a DIY PB Blaster?
A mixture of Acetone and ATF.

Waste of time, the acetone flashes off so fast that you might as well be using straight ATF.
