Anti seize lube on brake line fittings

[scott nutter1]

Is this a good or bad idea? Would it make future repairs less likely to round off the heads of the fittings?
I already teflon tape my bleeders and that seems to help some.
Thanks, Scott

Scott,

Just be sure you don't put the tape on the flare. Otherwise, I see no
problem with it.

Scott, I have found that most of the time the tubing is frozen with rust
into the fitting, not the fitting into the casting. I make sure that the
tubing is clean and that the fitting easily turns on the tubing. Nevr-seez
on the tubing cannot hurt​, just don't mix it with brake fluid.

The problem with most brake lines is the rust that accumulates between the tube and the nut. I always anti-seize the tube and then slide the nut in
place over the treated area. Also a little on the threads will not hurt anything.
