Re: 5kcstq:Banjo fitting and pentosin questions

It uses two copper washers, but you might be able just to tighten it...
After removing the banjo bolt, getting it back in is a PITA.  It took me
an hour of dorking around to get it straight.....

As for pentosin, one has a green _top_, the other has a red one.  They are
both expensive and both work.  BTW, BMW's use the same stuff & they often
come w/BMW part numbers stamped all over.
