Are liquid nails and gasket sealant stronger than brake fluid pressure?

verugador · 2015-07-05T18:44:15+00:00

Long story short: I after numerous trips to autozone I could not find a caliper to fit on my 16" rotors with my 15" rims. The previous owner somehow had everything working with no obvious alterations. I chose to grind down the 16" wheel calipers so my wheels cleared them. This didn't work and I ruptured one of the crossover chambers even without taking off any more than necessary for clearance. The real question: Is it insane to put gasket sealant and liquid nails over the hole and hope it is safe and functional or do I need to keep researching or god forbid bring it to the stealership? Any help appreciated. What I thought was a simple swap job has turned into a nightmare.

Ok, totally kidding here. Don't ever try to fix something like that. Brakes are no joke, you absolutely cannot cheap out on that system! Do it right and replace the part!
