Leaking drivers front brake hose

Posted by 55 NC Clipper On 2011/8/5 11:26:47

Guys, I replaced the drivers front brake hose with an aftermarket one and I noticed the one I took off had a 1 or 2" nipple on the end that went into the wheel cylinder. The one I put on didn't have this and I am having a hard time getting it tight because it is right up against the backing plate. Do you know if the nipple was supposed to be there or did someone put it there to make it easier to tighten?
