Try dubbing up the copper washers on that side.
Doing this cured the same leak I had.
The shim washers are so thin I have never got them to seal any other way.

Ran into this years ago with reman calipers. Ended up going to Pep Boys and looking thru their copper washer selection till I found thicker ones of the right diameters cause the supplied ones were too thin. What's happening is the bolt is bottoming out before the washer seals.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

I too had this problem but my kit had two different washers of different thickness. I could not get the thin one to seal so I tried the thicker washer and it sealed.

Most of the new washers are crap.I almost always used the old ones to seal.Seems the new ones almost always leaked.Ive use ones that were worse than that and no leaks.Rocky

Might have better luck if you buy OEM washers. Should still be available at the dealer. The OEM washers are thick and might be a softer grade of copper.
Never thought of that, thank you Andy! I went to two REAL parts stores and what they have are thin AND a smaller diameter than the serrations are.
In hindsight, SHOULD have probably went with the Wilwoods!
