The nut isn't too long. There is plenty of room to get the back up wrench in. 3 out of 4 connections sealed. I thought the line may have been cocking so that the ball & socket didn't mate correctly.
I was careful to get the nut started and pull the ball back then move the line to see if it would seat in the nut better/straight. I can't tell any difference 1 way or the other.
I'll disassemble once more, clean & reinstall. Then, I'll use a gasket or washer of break down and JB it. I won't go to the trouble of pulling the line again unless it won't quit leaking.
I'm headed out to prep for a bike ride. We have ~600 riders coming to town this weekend & we need to be set up for registration which opens at 6:00 tomorrow. I'll even get to ride this year - 1st time in a long time.
Any other ideas? I think we've exhausted but....
