Today I am reasembling my brake lines (86 CJ) any advice on assembly of
the new lines to the proportioning valve which was removed and is also
ready for reinstall.

Thanks

 

This is likely on the late side, but if you carefully wrap the threads
of the fittings with 2 layers only of teflon tape, it will help a lot
getting a leak proof job. The tape acts as a lubricant on those
fittings so the flare fitting can be compressed tight much easier than
when doing a dry fit.
