I tried my hand a rebuilding the lever and fit new bladders. Master cylinders were phish. Made them work again with generic o rings from the car shop. Put everything together, fasten banjo with torque wrench, and the fucker doesn't even tighten down hand tight. Looks like some asshole that "serviced" it before in the shop over-tightened it. Of course I can't prove that or anything, but no wonder it kept seeping. The threads came with it when I unscrewed it to check. This is the plastic body of the lever that the banjo screws into.
Very upset now. Any thoughts on how to recover that instead of throwing out the whole lever?
